Ripley County, IN — The staff of the Ripley County Community Foundation had the opportunity last month to award grant funding to the nonprofit organizations of their choice. A total $1,550.00 was granted out amongst three organizations: GinnFarms Corporation, Special Olympics Indiana of Ripley Ohio Dearborn (ROD), and Totes for Tots and Teens (Project T3).
GinnFarms Corporation received $387.50 to assist with purchasing fresh food, which will be provided to students in local schools. Special Olympics Indiana ROD was granted $775 to support operating expenses associated with the 2021 Winter Olympic Games and/or the 2021 Polar Plunge. Project T3 received $387 to purchase items that will fill overnight bags for foster children.
The staff unanimously decided to proactively grant out the funding to organizations that served the entire county and had not yet received funding from the Community Foundation during the 2020 granting cycle.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding the Proactive Staff Grants or are interested in making a donation, please contact the Ripley County Community Foundation by stopping by 13 E. George Street, Suite B, Batesville, Indiana, calling (812) 933-1098, emailing [email protected], or visiting www.rccfonline.org.
