Description
The Hayswood Foundation grant program provides funding to non-profit organizations located in or serving northeastern Kentucky (Bracken, Fleming, Lewis, Mason, and Robertson counties) and southeastern Ohio (Adams and Brown counties). The program focuses on supporting projects that promote mental or physical health or education, with a commitment to direct community impact. Since 1985, the Foundation has awarded over $10.6 million in grants, including annual, matching, and major capital grants. The Foundation does not support political, social, or religious indoctrination, endowments, or individuals, and gives preference to organizations with 501(c)3 status and those not receiving tax-based financial support.
