"South Central Community Foundation wants to know how
you can make a big change with $mall change"

SCCF has adopted the grassroots style of grant making. "Grassroots grant making brings the community to the foundation and the foundation to the community. Grassroots grant making is a place-based grant making approach that focuses on strengthening and connecting resident-led organizations and their leaders in
rural communities. Typically, it is aimed at strengthening the capacity of people who come together to improve their communities through projects and activities that they initiate and manage.

More often than not, funders involved in this type of grant making combine modest grants with technical assistance, training, leadership development and convening to enable grantees to become better connected with one another and other resources in the community.

"South Central Community Foundation wants to know how
you can make a difference in your classroom with $100.00"

South Central Community Foundation recognizes that, with increasing Federal Educational cutbacks, it is becoming more difficult to include "enrichment"
projects in the curriculum. The Teacher's Grant is designed to provide funding for a classroom project or field trip that is no longer in the schools educational budget. We understand that devoted teachers spend hundreds of dollars annually providing these projects for their students.
