Wright County Charitable Foundation grants awarded to 33 projects totaling $46,600

On June 20th, Wright County Charitable Foundation (WCCF) held its Spring Granting Ceremony. Held at the Clarion Public Library at 5:00 p.m., the foundation awarded $46,600 to 33 projects county-wide. Since the first granting period in Spring 2006, the Wright County Charitable Foundation has granted $1,206,924.00 to worthy causes across the county, with projects totaling $14,621,030.30.

The WCCF Grant Committee and the Youth Leadership Grant Committee separately reviewed each grant application. After their deliberations the two grant committees independently made their recommendations, with all grants receiving final approval by the full WCCF Board of Directors. There are two grant award cycles per year, in the Spring and Fall.

Wright County Economic Development (WCED) administers grants for WCCF, and grant applications can be obtained at the WCED offices, lower level of the courthouse or online at the county’s web site, http://www.wrightcounty.org.
