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 THRIVE grants program will focus on programs and collaboratives that transform lives and our community by helping low-income children, individuals and families achieve lasting financial security.

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.

Fund for York County is granting up to $70K through its community grant program in 2022.  Two community grant cycles are being offered (see timeline below).

Community grant applications are read and scored by community volunteers.  The applications are shorter than other YCCF applications.  The maximum amount that can be requested is $6,000.
