SCCF begins grant application process

The Shelby County Community Foundation (SCCF) announces the opening of the grant application process for this year's Community Partnership Grant Fund.

SCCF is also making some changes to the application process this year.

This year, application forms for funding are available in one of two ways. First, a paper form is available at the Ohio Valley Educational Cooperative (OVEC) at 100 Alpine Drive in Shelbyville.

Application forms can also be downloaded from the SCCF's new website. The web address is www.shelbyccf.org.

Non-profit and government organizations are eligible to apply for the grants.

The deadline for applications to be returned is Sept. 15. Grant awards will be announced in November. Applications can be returned to the OVEC office or mailed to SCCF Box 672, Shelbyville, 40065.

The Community Partnership Grant Fund was formerly called the Moses Ruben Fund and was announced twice a year. This is the second year the SCCF has made the grant an annual award.
