Love Your Community Application

Jan 4, 2019 | Press Release

Do you have an idea to improve your community?

The Hillsdale County Community Foundation would LOVE to hear about it.
The love your community program supports projects aimed at enhancing and engaging local communities in Hillsdale County. The strongest proposals will demonstrate creativity and innovation, and cannot duplicate services or programs already in place. Each grant award will not exceed $2,000 and funded projects must be completed by May 1, 2020.

Application forms are due by January 31.

The top ideas will be posted on the HCCF Facebook page, where the public can vote for their favorites. Fan voting will be open March 11-25, and winners will be announced at a community reception on April 11.
