Since our first grant in 1994 the total of grants awarded via RCCF’s Community Grant program is more than $900,000, providing support that has enabled many community structures, projects, and non-profits’ impact. The generous donors that began these funds and the ongoing contributions have enabled the profound difference the Rush County Community Foundation has made within the community via the Community Grant program.
