Grants for Pre-K programs available at ECCF

Does your organization serve the Pre-K community in Elk County? The Elk County Community Foundation (ECCF) is accepting grant applications through January 15 from non-profit organizations and schools that provide educational services for the Pre-K community. The grants are made available through the Elk County Society for Special Services Fund (ECSSS) which is administered by the Foundation.

The ECCSS fund was established to assist any nonprofit agency that provides services that offer Pre-K education. The purpose of the grant is to improve programs that are already established or to develop new programs. This fund does not cover direct operating expenses of an agency, rather it hopes to enhance an organization’s programs that serve young children.

For instructions on how to apply for a grant, go to the Foundation website at www.elkcountyfoundation.org. A link to the fund under Open Grants will connect you with our new online application process. Contact our office at 814-834-2125 to determine if your organization qualifies and for further instructions on how to proceed with the grant application.

The Elk County Community Foundation is a non-profit grant-making organization dedicated to improving the lives of people in our geographic area by partnering with philanthropic donors to help them meet their charitable goals.
