June 16, 2021 — The Ste. Genevieve County Community Foundation has awarded total grants of $10,000 to three 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 SGCCF 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 SGCCF awarded its Coover Regional Recovery Grants to:
“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.”
Grant applications for the 2021 Community Development Fund grant program must be received at the Ste. Genevieve courthouse by 4 p.m. on Feb. 5 to be considered for the 2021 CDF grant review cycle. New grant applications are also being accepted for the Economic Development Fund grant program. Eligible grant applicants include government entities and federal 501(c)3 nonprofit organizations serving the residents and communities of Ste. Genevieve County.
Both the CDF and EDF grant funds are associated with the Ste. Genevieve County Community Foundation and have been made possible through an annual donation by Holcim (US) Inc., Ste. Genevieve Plant. Grant applications may be obtained at the Ste. Genevieve County Courthouse or downloaded below.
