The Hancock County Foundation was formed to coordinate and provide philanthropic support for community betterment projects in Hancock County. Each year the foundation makes grant awards to worthwhile projects located in the county that are identified through a community grants application process.
The Foundation is seeking projects that address significant community issues: present innovative, creative, and practical proposals which build on community strengths; develop the leadership potential of the county or community; involved the people served in the planning and implementation of the program, provide a plan for sustainability beyond the funding period, and capital projects that impact a significant number of county residents.
