These endowments can annually gift funds to local projects under the family fund name. This program assures that a family or loved-one will be permanently remembered by the community.

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.

"The backpacking equipment we purchased using the SHCF grant money was used by high school students to have an amazing backpacking experience. Students were much more prepared and equipped for a safe and enjoyable experience in the wilderness thanks to SHCF! "
