In response to ongoing government funding shortages and the recent ice storm impacting our region, the Roscommon County Community Foundation (RCCF) has reactivated the Urgent Needs Fund to support those most affected across the county.
While RCCF cannot provide aid directly to individuals, it supports the work of local nonprofit partners who are on the front lines of crisis response.
Eligibility requirements:
- Your organization is playing an active role in helping individuals and families dealing with food insecurity and/or recovering from the ice storm.
- Your organization must be a 501c3 nonprofit, government agency, church, or school to receive funding. *Note: If applicant is a school, please include a letter of support from the superintendent that includes why funds are not included in the school budget/how this request fits into the overall school district plan.
- Your organization must serve Roscommon County
- This grant cycle is ongoing and grant awards will be based on the merit of the proposal and the availability of funds. The purpose of the Urgent Needs Fund is to fill unexpected or emergency needs arising for individuals and families due to federal and state funding lapses or natural disasters.
- Grants will be paid upon approval and receipt of a fully signed grant agreement. This agreement may be submitted by submitting the signed grant agreement.
Reimbursements for organizational expenses
- Reimbursement for unexpected expenses incurred during emergencies
- Costs associated with increased demand for services
Other services as determined eligible by RCCF staff
