Description
The Community Foundation of the Mahoning Valley’s General Grant supports eligible organizations serving residents of Mahoning and Trumbull Counties. Funding can support general operations or specific programs and projects. The program has no specific subject-area priorities; requests should clearly explain the community needs or opportunities they address and how the proposed work responds to them.
Applications are shared with the Foundation’s participating advised funds and its Distribution Committee. Active fundholders review requests according to their individual interests and the kinds of projects they support. This process allows organizations’ operating needs and distinct initiatives to be considered by multiple participants in the Foundation’s local grantmaking.
