The Starke County Community Foundation has removed deadlines from most of its grant applications in an effort to make funds for community projects more accessible.
Applications are available online at www.nicf.org or at the Starke County Community Foundation office in the North Judson-San Pierre Middle School building at 950 Campbell Drive.
Community Education Grants are offered to schools or teachers in the Knox, North Judson-San Pierre and Oregon-Davis school systems, with a maximum award of $500 per school system.
SCCF also has two Field of Interest grant opportunities – one for Indiana history and one for alternative agriculture projects. The Maude Brown and Henry F. Schricker Endowment provides support to all Starke County fourth-grade or above students for projects regarding Indiana history and social studies. The Robert ‘Boom Boom’ Baker Alternative Agriculture Grant awards dollars to programs or projects that encourage or support alternative agriculture within Starke County.
Several Community Support Grants will be given this year as well. Awards range from several hundred to several thousand dollars and are given to organizations that provide support throughout the community.
SCCF Director of Development Sarah Origer says the new system is designed to be more convenient for those who need funding earlier in the year.
Starke United Fund Grants will still be administered as they have been in the fast. They are a partnership between Starke United and the Community Foundation that was created to provide a more efficient way to assist Starke County’s charitable agencies. The maximum grant request per agency is $3,500, and applications are due by May 5, 2017.
