In response to the heightened needs of area nonprofit organizations and its mission to enhance the quality of life in the region, the Central Susquehanna Community Foundation is pleased to announce a second grant round available for Disaster Relief Funding. Established in 2011, the purpose of the Foundation’s Disaster Relief Fund to support nonprofit organizations affected by disasters in Columbia, Lower-Luzerne, Montour, Northumberland, Snyder and Union Counties. The grant round is designed as a flexible response to provide relief for a variety of unexpected costs. The Foundation is specifically interested in helping organizations maintain their operations and respond to increased demand from clients during this critical time.
While many CSCF funds have contributed to these Disaster Relief efforts, the grant round can create an even bigger impact with contributions from community members. To join the Foundation in this initiative, visit csgiving.org/disaster-relief to make a secure online donation.
