Marshfield Area Community Foundation awards Coover Regional Recovery Grants
April 30, 2021 — The Marshfield Area Community Foundation has awarded total grants of $10,000 to six nonprofit agencies for recovery needs related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The grants are made possible by the Louis L. and Julia Dorothy Coover Charitable Foundation, managed by Commerce Trust Company in partnership with the Community Foundation of the Ozarks. The Marshfield Area Community Foundation is one of 30 CFO affiliate foundations to receive Coover grant funding this year and chose to use its award to hold a community recovery grant round for eligible nonprofits.
The Marshfield Area Community Foundation awarded its Coover Regional Recovery Grants to:
- The Forgotten Initiative: $2,500 for visitation room security improvements
- Marshfield Performing Arts Society Inc.: $575 to expand Marshfield Community Theatre’s education program
- Marshfield Senior Center: $1,925 for the “Reopening Safety” project
- Ozark Trails Council Inc. (Boy Scouts of America): $500 for Camp Arrowhead COVID-19 recovery
- St. Paul's Learning Center Inc.: $2,500 for operational support
- TLC Student Funds: $2,000 for operational support
“One of the benefits of the CFO’s affiliate network is the ability of local leaders to make decisions in the best interests of their own communities,” said Jill Reynolds, senior vice president at Commerce Trust. “Using leaders across rural Missouri to award Coover Charitable Foundation grant dollars has contributed to this partnership’s success in distributing more than $7 million since 2002.”
