Description
The Joplin Regional Community Foundation Affiliate Grantmaking Program FY27 supports work that addresses important community needs and improves quality of life for people in the Joplin area. An affiliate program of the Community Foundation of the Ozarks, it uses flexible grantmaking rather than a single project theme to respond to local needs.
The Joplin Regional Community Foundation’s Board of Directors makes grant decisions, drawing on members’ knowledge of the area. Funding comes from charitable donors who established unrestricted or field-of-interest funds and entrusted local leaders with decisions about their use, alongside dollars raised by the Joplin Regional Community Foundation itself. The program combines donor support and community leadership to benefit the Joplin community.
