Coover Regional Resiliency Grant Presentation

On April 30, 2026, the Community Foundation of the Ozarks, in partnership with the Louis L. and Julia Dorothy Coover Charitable Foundation and Commerce Trust, granted a total of $500,000 to 23 nonprofits and school districts.

The Coover Regional Resiliency Grants support agencies that serve low-income individuals and families in rural communities and are facing financial challenges due to the loss or significant reduction of federal and/or state funding. This year’s Coover Regional grant program was doubled by a match from The HWS Charitable Foundation Inc., a private foundation with a passion for improving economic outcomes of residents in rural communities.
