Description
The Community Foundation of the Mahoning Valley’s General Grant supports general operations and specific programs or projects serving residents of Mahoning and Trumbull Counties. The program has no specific subject-area funding priorities. Instead, requests should clearly explain how the proposed work addresses community needs or opportunities and helps make the Mahoning Valley a better place.
Applications are shared with participating Foundation advised funds and the Distribution Committee. Active fundholders review requests according to their individual interests and project preferences, and each application is judged on its own merits. This broad approach connects local organizations’ needs with participating donors’ interests while supporting a wide range of community-focused work.
