| The White County Community Foundation is building an unrestricted grantmaking fund that allows us to assess the community’s needs and make grants to nonprofit organizations to support those needs. This year we will award approximately $10,000 in grants through a grantmaking process. If your organization would like to learn more about our grantmaking process and grantmaking guidelines, please contact the White County Community Foundation at wccommunityfoundation@hotmail.com or download our grant application here. |
