Major Grants

As Foundation assets grow, our Board of Directors has occasionally awarded funds for “major grants” which have a long-term economic or quality of life impact on the Floyd County community. The first such grant was in 2002 -- a $20,000,000 commitment over 20 years -- to the Scribner Place YMCA & Aquatic Center.

A major grant is defined by the Board as one which:

• has a larger impact on the Floyd County community than grants submitted in annual spring and fall cycles;
• exceeds the normal $25,000 limit; and
• is not limited to the annual grant cycle time line.

Major grants are submitted throughout the calendar year, and board decisions are usually made in January of the following year. Read the guidelines on submitting major grant applications for more information.
