Description
The Borough of Ridgway Charitable Grants support nonprofit organizations whose proposed purposes or projects benefit residents of Ridgway Borough, Pennsylvania. Administered by the Elk County Community Foundation, the grants draw on a fund designated by donor Sara-Jane Stackpole to benefit nonprofit agencies serving Borough residents. The fund’s central priority is local benefit.
At Stackpole’s request, the Foundation appoints a five-member Advisory Board representing various groups of people residing in the Borough. The board recommends grants to the Foundation’s Board of Directors for review and consideration, connecting the fund’s charitable purpose with representation from the community it serves.
