Deadline: 31-Mar-21
Community Foundation of Randolph County is seeking applications for COVID-19 Response Fund Program to provide funding to non-profits needing assistance.
The funding would be delivered to those non-profits for emergency response needs focused on providing basic food, clothing, shelter, addiction management, and safety for those made more vulnerable to disease due to their circumstances.
The Community Foundation of Randolph County makes grants to increase the capacity of Randolph County’s not-for-profit organizations to respond effectively to the needs of the community.

In addition, the field of interest funding is available on a limited basis for the areas of:
- Arts and culture;
- Civic and community development;
- Education;
- Environmental and historic preservation;
- Health and human services;
- Scholarships;
- Youth;
- Elderly.
What they fund?
In general, the Foundation prefers funding for:
- Start-up costs for new programs;
- One-time projects or needs;
- Capital needs beyond an applicant’s capabilities and means.
What they do not fund?
The Foundation will not normally consider grants from the Community Enrichment Fund for the following purposes:

- Endowment campaigns.
- For any propaganda, political or otherwise, attempting to influence legislation or intervene in any political affairs or campaigns.
