Foundation Grants
Take Time
The Polk County Community
Foundation awarded grants of
$96,260 last year, and approved
another $101,400.00.
Disbursement of this much
money by this public charitable
organization is done very
carefully.
The Foundation’s Distribution
Committee, chaired by Howard K
McIntyre. takes its
responsibilities very seriously.
This means that every grant
request takes time and
investigative persistence by
members of the Distribution
Committee before they make, as
required, a recommendation to
the full Board of Directors.
Tax exempt organizations
making grant requests should get
their written applications in
early, to allow time for the
Distribution Committee to make
its study before presenting its
appraisal at the quarterly
Directors’ meeting.
The next Distribution
Committee meeting is Jan. 22.
The next Directors’ meeting is
April 11.
Grant application forms are
available in The Foundation
Office at 1 Depot Street, Tuesday
and Thursday, 9 am to Noon. -
