The Putnam County Community Foundation offers grant opportunities to nonprofit organizations that serve Putnam County residents. Our grant strategy and priorities are guided by our Board to ensure that grant funds produce the greatest impact.
The Community Impact Grants program seeks to meet community needs through broad, flexible grantmaking. Community Impact Grants are funded by PCCF’s Community Impact funds and unrestricted endowments, which are designed for the general benefit of the community.
The Small Grants program seeks to meet one-time expense needs within our community. Small Grants are funded by PCCF’s unrestricted funds, endowments designed for the general benefit of the community.
The Capacity Building Grants program seeks to provide financial support to strengthen organizations’ effectiveness, internal operations, infrastructure, management, and governance. We believe that when capacity building is successful, it strengthens and improves an organization’s ability to achieve its mission, sustain itself over time, and have a quantifiable impact on the community in which it serves.
The Youth Grants program is managed by the Putnam County Community Foundation’s Youth Philanthropy Committee, with funding from the Putnam County Youth Philanthropy Endowment. It offers grants to youth-led projects and charitable groups that support youth initiatives benefiting Putnam County.
PCCF proudly supports local organizations in building their capacity through fundraising and community awareness initiatives. Although our grant programs do not include support for events, organizations can request a one-time event sponsorship.
Current and past grantees can access grant agreements, reports, and other grant documents in the Grant Portal.
