The organization says the funding is part of its Recovery Phase of support for nonprofit organizations in Clay, Sullivan and Vigo counties.
The foundation says it is building on the success of the $1-for-$2 matching challenge grants awarded last year. In the third phase, nonprofits can use the funding to rebuild operational capital in an effort to recover from the hardships experienced during the pandemic.
“We invited all eligible 501(c)(3) organizations to apply for up to $10,000 in a $1-for-$2 match,” said Kelli Miller, program director for the Wabash Valley Community Foundation. “Eligible grantees were those who experienced a loss of revenue directly resulting from COVID-19 restrictions. Each request underwent committee review to confirm eligibility, thereby ensuring the grant amount and total fundraising goal reflected the need that was demonstrated in the organization’s request.”
