Staff Report-
The Kosciusko County Community Foundation announced the creation of a new fund – the Kosciusko County Addiction and Recovery Fund.
Established by anonymous donors, the Kosciusko County Addiction and Recovery Fund will provide support for programs and projects aimed at assisting individuals or families affected by drug or alcohol addiction, according to a news release from the Foundation. Grants from the fund will primarily focus on programs and projects that provide mentoring, training, education, transitional housing, or wrap around services to recovering individuals or their families.
Drug and alcohol addiction are wide spread issues affecting many individuals in the county, state and country. Often times, those affected by addiction do not have the financial means to seek the assistance they need for themselves and for their families. The Kosciusko County Addiction and Recovery Fund will provide grants directly to nonprofit organizations providing services for individuals and families affected by addiction, making them more affordable and accessible.
Local nonprofits seeking a grant from the Kosciusko County Addiction and Recovery Fund should apply through the Community Funds Grant application process. Applications are due March 1, July 1 and Nov. 1 of each year. To learn more and apply for Community Funds Grants, visit www.kcfoundation.org/grants.
