The Greene County Foundation recently held a luncheon for its Designated Grant Recipients. Representatives from 22 organizations, along with donors and Foundation board members, attended the luncheon on April 20th.
Designated funds are created by donors or agencies to provide ongoing funding for the mission of the organizations they support, and each year, the Foundation disburses a percentage of these funds to the recipients. The principal remains invested, ensuring that these funds continue to support local organizations for years to come.
This year, the Foundation awarded almost $120,000 to 44 local organizations across the county. Program Manager Katie Stout said, “Today would not be possible without donors who believe in the mission of your organizations.”
