🤩 💲 We were pleased to award the Grant County Library a $2,000 grant to assist with their microfilm reel project which digitizes and preserves our Grant County history, some of which dates back to 1885!

🙌 Thank you Holly and team for applying for a competitive grant. If you can assist with this worthwhile project, reach out to Holly!

💯 We have an open grant cycle, meaning you, charitable non profit organizations, can apply anytime throughout the year. Call us for more information!

Lookeeeeee here 👀

The roles have reversed and we are getting a big check instead of presenting one! 🤑

The Grant County Gives Committee is making the rounds building up the match fund for the 2026 campaign. More pooled match funds = more funds for our participating organizations.

💥Thank you Bravane Shandon Alexander Phelps and Pioneer Communications for your continued support of the event, of GCCF and our community.

Grant County Gives is Nov. 1-7. If you would like to find out more or become a match fund donor, let us know‼️

More GCG info will be released soon!

We made it! 💥🎉👏

Thank you! All the money raised as part of this match challenge allowed us to capture a $50K donation from an anonymous donor!!

All these monies go into our unrestricted fund, Enrich Grant County, and will be invested, thereby increasing the amount of money we have available to grant to non profit organizations in Grant County. 🫶

Stay tuned for more announcements about our Enrich Grant County Fund balance, status updates towards our $1M goal and future challenges 💕
