The Community Foundation of Boone County is excited to announce a continuation of the community matching grant initiative started in 2020. The goal of this initiative is to partner with a wide range of Boone County nonprofits to address their needs and the Boone County residents they serve.
“In 2020, we surveyed our nonprofits to see how needs changed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on what they told us, we adjusted our grant opportunities to best address their needs. We are continuing this granting approach in 2021 and are extremely proud to announce this grant opportunity for Boone County-serving nonprofit organizations, to ensure our grant dollars are making the greatest impact on the number of Boone County residents served.” – Barb Schroeder, Director of Grants
