The Franklin County Community Foundation is a growing family of philanthropic funds, source of grants for local causes and partner for donors. FCCF was founded in 1991 and is led by a local volunteer advisory board that helps build community assets through the creation of permanent endowments, makes grants and leverages leadership – all for the benefit of Franklin County.
The Franklin County Community Foundation will accept grant applications from April 3, 2026, to NOON eastern time on May 5, 2026. Applications received after this deadline will not be accepted, including late submissions due to technology issues. Funds are available for qualified charitable organizations serving the local community.
Grants from the community grantmaking fund typically range from $500 to $1,000. Grants from the Franklin Education Fund typically range from $1,000 to $2,000. In 2025, FCCF awarded $6,000 in grants in this competitive process. Learn more about past grant recipients.
