Fund for Reno County proposals allow foundation representatives–board members, community volunteers and staff—to hear directly from the communities about their challenges and opportunities.
Some of the grants are small but mighty, while others are large and far-reaching. Each represents an innovative approach or collaboration, a new efficiency for an established organization, a critical need that requires “just in time” funding, or an opportunity that needs just a bit of local support to leverage great resources for the community.
