IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN THE SWEET HOME COMMUNITY.
We support organizations and projects that make Sweet Home such a great place to live. We accomplish this be assisting them in receiving tax deductible donations and by providing grants which help fund projects
Each year the Sweet Home Community Foundation opens an annual grant cycle and accepts applications. The grant cycle opens in February and closes in the Spring. Board members review and score all applications based on a set criteria (see application) and meets as a group to make final decisions on which grants qualify and will be funded. Grants are awarded in late Spring of each year and recipients must complete their projects before the next grant cycle starts.
