The Community Foundation of the North State has opened its Fall competitive grant cycle featuring four grant funds – The Women’s Fund, The Animal Welfare Endowment Fund, The Community Arts Endowment Fund, and the Redding Rancheria Community Fund. Last year, these funds cumulatively granted over $175,000 to area nonprofits.
The Women’s Fund focuses on bolstering organizations that support women and children in the Redding area. The Animal Welfare Endowment Fund grants to organizations in Shasta, Siskiyou, and Tehama counties. And The Community Arts Endowment Fund supports the creation of public art in Shasta and Siskiyou counties. The Redding Rancheria Community Fund, which supports a broad number of causes in Shasta and Trinity counties is awarding grant dollars for general operating support. The grant application period is currently open and closes during the month of September. A grants workshop will be held on August 20th via Zoom to give an overview of available opportunities.
“We’re so excited to be opening another grant cycle and learning more about the needs facing our local nonprofits,” said Justine Lehman, Community Foundation Program Officer. “These grant funds have been established by local benefactors and provide funds to local organizations. It’s truly about enriching our North State communities.”
The open registration period is also quickly approaching for the Community Foundation’s annual North State Giving Tuesday. Nonprofits will be able to register to participate beginning August 19th. In its 11th year, North State Giving Tuesday will be held on December 3, 2024. Last year, the event raised more than $1.4 million for North State nonprofits, providing a much-needed end-of-year boost to almost 200 participating organizations. This year, both Trinity and Modoc county organizations are eligible to participate.
