Description
The Aurora Area Affiliate Grantmaking Program FY27 is offered through the Community Foundation of the Ozarks and administered locally by the Aurora Area Community Foundation. It supports work addressing important community needs and improving quality of life in the Aurora area. The program takes a flexible approach to community grantmaking rather than specifying a single project theme.
Funding comes from charitable donors who established unrestricted or field-of-interest funds, together with dollars raised by the Aurora Area Community Foundation. These resources entrust local community leaders with decisions about community needs. A Board of Directors selected for its knowledge of the area governs the foundation, while the grant committee makes grant decisions.
