Granville Community Foundation Reaches Annual Goal
We’ve reported a few times on the Granville Community Foundation, which was established last year to provide grants to Granville nonprofits. The Foundation has reached its $1 million goal for the year.
“It’s been an incredible first year,” Michael Freed, Chair of the Granville Community Foundation, said in a statement. “We’ve created a mission to invest in the future of Granville, a vision to raise $5 million toward that investment by 2030.”
The group’s next step is to plan for two grant-making cycles in 2022, the first of which starts with the submission of proposals on February 1.
