Description
The LexGive365 Community Champions Grant is a competitive funding opportunity offered by the LexGive365 Charitable Fund at Blue Grass Community Foundation. It supports local, grassroots organizations that are trusted by, connected to, and rooted in the Fayette County community. Funding helps organizations sustain high-quality programs or increase organizational capacity to address additional service gaps and respond to local needs.
LexGive365 is a giving circle of philanthropists and civic leaders who pool contributions to support causes that help Lexington thrive. A committee reviews grant applications and selects three finalists, whose representatives present their projects to the membership at the annual grantmaking meeting, known as The Finals. Members then vote to determine the three award amounts.
