Congratulations to this year's Daviess Gives Grant recipients! 🎉

Our Community Advisory Board spent time learning about the needs across our community and chose to invest in local organizations making an impact. These grants will mentor children in foster care, provide new ministry resources for women, celebrate our community's history, support families and children recovering from fires, and care for animals in need.

We are proud to support local nonprofits like these, demonstrating community philanthropy in action. We appreciate our Community Advisory Board for their thoughtful decision-making.
