HCCF Fall Grant Cycle - Now Open
Got a project that could make Huron County an even better place? The Huron County Community Foundation wants to hear about it. Our grant application is now open, and we're inviting local nonprofits, schools, municipalities, and community groups to apply for funding that helps turn good ideas into real, lasting impact.
What We're Looking to Fund
We encourage ALL eligible organizations to apply. Projects that fall into one or more of the following Strategic Priority areas will be given preference for our unrestricted grantmaking dollars:
Retaining and attracting a talented, trained workforce
Creating vibrant and dynamic communities
Cultivating an environment for business development
That said, HCCF holds funds across a wide range of interests, and we encourage applications addressing any of these areas as well:
Arts and Culture
Basic Needs Services
Beautification of Huron County
Disadvantaged Youth
Education
Health & Medicine
Natural Areas Preservation
Recreation
Women in STEM
If your project enhances life in Huron County, we want to hear about it!
How to Apply
Applying is straightforward, and we've streamlined the application to make it easier to complete from start to finish:
Fill out the General Information form — your organization's details, project overview, budget snapshot, and contacts.
Answer the Project Narrative questions — tell us about your project's purpose, your organization's history, who's involved, how you'll measure success, and your budget. (Prefer to attach your own Excel budget worksheet instead of typing it in? That works too — just note "See attached" and include the file.)
Save your completed application as a single PDF and email it to Mackenzie at mackenzie@huroncounty.com.
Remember: only one application per organization will be considered per grant cycle.
Key Dates
Application Deadline: Friday, August 20 by 4:30 p.m.
Public Award Announcement: Thursday, September 11 at the HCCF Annual Celebration
Applications received after the deadline cannot be considered, so mark your calendars now.
