Community Grants Policy

The Community Grants Fund is a discretionary fund established by the RCCF (Richland County Campus Foundation) Board of Directors in 2023 through the generosity of the Symons Trust and the L.M. Pippin Endowment.

The purpose of the Fund is to allow the Foundation to respond directly to community needs.

Grants from the Fund shall be made in response to community grant applications received from local nonprofit groups or organizations. The maximum community grant amount per organization per calendar year is $3,000.00.

Community grant application forms and guidelines shall be established by the Community Grant Committee and approved by the RCCF Board of Directors. Applications are considered as received.

The Community Grant Committee is responsible for reviewing grant applications and deciding on community grant amounts for final approval.
