The Roscommon County Community Foundation is proud to announce that the Board of Trustees, in partnership with grant funding from the DTE Foundation, has established the Urgent Needs Fund in response to COVID-19. The Urgent Needs Fund is accepting grant applications for needs directly related to COVID-19. The goal for this fund is to be sure that organizations that are working with the people and families who have been impacted directly by the Coronavirus and the economy are supported.
In order to be eligible for a grant you must be a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, school, church, or government agency. You can find the application at www.myrccf.org.
The RCCF Board and staff hope that this fund will help solve some of the issues created by COVID-19 and will spread some positivity among Roscommon County.
If you would like to support RCCF’s efforts, please consider a donation to the Urgent Needs Fund. Checks can be mailed to P.O. Box 824, Roscommon, MI 48653 or you can make a donation online at www.myrccf.org/give.
