The Darke County Foundation is currently accepting applications for its Community Grants program, aligning with its mission to improve the health, education, or welfare of Darke County residents. This program is a cornerstone of the Foundation's strategic priorities, demonstrating a commitment to fostering a stronger community through direct support to local organizations. The grants aim to address diverse needs within Darke County, reflecting a broad theory of change that by investing in local initiatives, the overall quality of life for its residents will significantly improve. The target beneficiaries of these grants are the residents of Darke County, with a particular focus on those whose health, education, or welfare can be enhanced through the services provided by eligible organizations. The program prioritizes organizations that are 501(c)(3) tax-exempt or government agencies, ensuring that funds are directed to established entities capable of delivering impactful services. The overarching impact goal is to create a healthier, more educated, and generally improved living environment for all Darke County citizens. The program's priorities and focuses are clearly defined: supporting services that directly benefit the Darke County community. However, certain groups are ineligible, including organizations that limit services to members of one religious group or whose primary purpose is to influence legislation, political viewpoints, or promote political candidates. This selective approach ensures that grants are allocated to non-partisan, community-focused initiatives, maximizing their positive, broad-based impact. Expected outcomes include approximately 40 organizations receiving awards, with individual grants typically ranging from $1,000 to $3,000, though the potential exists for awards up to $10,000. Measurable results will likely be tracked through the number of organizations supported and the scope of services they provide, directly correlating to the improved welfare, education, and health outcomes for Darke County residents. The Foundation's theory of change posits that these investments will lead to tangible, positive shifts in community well-being, fostering a more resilient and vibrant Darke County.
