Designated funds managed and administered by Incourage Community Foundation distribute grants during the first and third quarters of each year.
To date this year, $685,418 was granted to more than 40 organizations in support of a variety of charitable interests in our community, spanning from youth and education to local faith-based organizations and the arts. $167,246.50 of those funds were granted during third quarter of this year. See below for the third quarter distributions. If interested, see this year’s first quarter distributions as well.
A designated fund is unique, in that it is established with the intent to support only one specific charitable organization as its beneficiary or a grouping of up to three. Once a designated fund is established, grant distributions will forever benefit the named charitable organization(s) on an annual basis, per the requirements outlined in an official fund agreement.
The impact these grant distributions have on our community is immeasurable. We are sincerely grateful to every donor who has chosen to partner with Incourage Community Foundation for the management and administration of these funds. Together, we can ensure the continued success of our incredible local nonprofits and charitable organizations, and give them confidence in our continued support for generations to come.
