This week’s Giving Tuesday initiative proved to be a success for local community foundations. Kim Krause with the Community Foundation of Pulaski County had a good response. “I know we still have some gifts that are trickling in, but it’s safe to say that we’ve raised well over $30,000 in one day, for Giving Tuesday,” she says.
Pulaski County Community Foundation Accepting Grant Applications
The Pulaski County Community Foundation is gearing up for another grant cycle, this time offering a total of $25,000 to be granted to non-profit organizations benefiting the county. According to Kim Krause, scholarship coordinator and office administrator for the Community Foundation, each recipient can receive no more than $5000.
Krause said the grants are focused toward non-profit organizations, but other organizations can receive the grants as well, through the help of a sponsor.
