2024 grants announced by the Community Foundation for Livingston County
The Community Foundation for Livingston County is pleased to have awarded $25,000 in grants to three Livingston County nonprofit organizations.
Those organizations receiving the 2024 grants are:
- $10,000 to Cleary University to provide 275 Livingston County Public Schools students with a hands-on printmaking workshop at Cleary University Secunda Museum;
- $10,000 to Howell Public Schools to install book vending machines in four elementary schools to enhance reading initiatives and promote literacy from pre-K to fifth grade, with rewards for positive behavior;
- $5,000 to VINA Dental’s Prevention Incentive Program to give all VINA patients a discount on hygiene appointments, bringing the cost to $10. This is more affordable for low-income patients and helps emphasize preventive care, improving overall health.
“The Community Foundation for Livingston County board is committed to making our community a place where everyone can thrive,” said board chair Tim Corrigan. “By funding in multiple issues, we are able to help address the challenges facing many Livingston residents, from youth to seniors, including the most vulnerable in our community. We were able to help fund programs in the arts, literacy and dental health.”
“We are fortunate to have had so many contributors over the years to build the Community Foundation for Livingston County and invest in the vibrancy of our county, now and forever,” Corrigan said.
