Overview

Fund of the Future

These dollars are combined with the Elk County Development Fund dollars and will be awarded at the same time, with about the same criteria.

Elk County Development Fund Focus

The Foundation generally looks to support community development initiatives that will enhance the economic and community wellbeing of Elk County. Distribution from the grants can be used to meet special project or program needs of organizations serving the people of Elk County. The Foundation encourages organizations that will serve a particular need of the community and will make a lasting impact on the overall community to apply. The Foundation seeks to fund projects or activities that will serve the needs of many in the community rather than the needs of a few individuals. Projects should include activities that are innovative and have a plan to be sustained themselves.
