THRIVE Grant Opportunities from the Fund for York County
The Fund for York County focuses resources on our community’s most pressing issues. Our new focus seeks to provide funding opportunities for programs and collaboratives that transform lives and our community by helping people thrive by building economic mobility for low-income individuals.
Our initial focus areas are:
• Housing
• Career Development
• Transportation
• Childcare
• Financial Education
Grants are awarded to organizations or collaboratives that support our new strategic direction in creating new programs, expansion of existing programs, and planning and research.
