Description
Established in 1994, the Carroll County Foundation supports local projects and programs exclusively benefiting Carroll County, Ohio. Offered through Stark Community Foundation, the fund is overseen by a nine-member board that awards discretionary grants each year. Its funding policies address arts, recreation, and educational activities, with arts support emphasizing artistic diversity and quality throughout the community.
The foundation encourages broad community support through challenge grants and partial funding for the arts. Recreation proposals should demonstrate community financial backing, effective use of existing facilities, and capacity for ongoing maintenance. Educational policies address non-religious activities, innovative programs catalyzed by equipment purchases, and programs serving disadvantaged people or people with disabilities. Short-term assistance may occasionally preserve a key agency or program threatened by funding changes.
