FOUNDATION ISSUES GRANTMAKING ALERT
The Humboldt County Community Foundation which was organized to promote and and enhance philanthropy in Humboldt County has established its 2007 grantmaking policies and timetables. The Foundation has once again received a state award and some private donations to facilitate endowment building and grantmaking throughout the county.
Each year the Foundation makes grant awards to worthwhile projects located in the county that are identified through a community grants application process. Examples of the Foundation’s areas of emphasis include: Arts and Culture, Community Betterment, Education, Health and Human Services, Recreation and Environment, and Youth Development. For your information, recipients of last year’s grants are listed on the Foundation’s website.
Grant applications are now available and may be obtained electronically at the Foundation’s website located at http://www.hccfb.org or in hard copy at the Humboldt County Extension Office, 727 Summer Avenue, Humboldt, IA.
This year the Foundation is requiring at least one member of every organization preparing a grant application to attend a meeting scheduled for Tuesday, February 6, 2007 at 7:00 p.m. at the Humboldt City Hall.
