Sioux County, Iowa — The Sioux County Community Foundation, an affiliate of the Siouxland Community Foundation, has announced that they are now accepting grant applications from 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations and units of local government.
Since the first grants were made in 2006, over $1.1-million has been awarded to nonprofit organizations to help support present and emerging needs in the areas of arts and culture, community betterment, education, environment, health, and human services.
The Sioux County Community Foundation Advisory Board says service clubs and organizations have an important role in Sioux County. Even though the Foundation cannot make grants directly to service clubs or other non-501(c)(3) organizations, those organizations are encouraged to collaborate with a qualified nonprofit agency on projects or seek a fiscal sponsor.
Questions about the grant program or application process may be directed to Duane Feekes, Sioux County Community Foundation Advisory Board Chair, at (712) 737-7700 or the Siouxland Community Foundation at (712) 293-3303.
Grant applications can be submitted online at: www.siouxlandcommunityfoundation.org/affiliates/ and are due by March 15th, according to Sioux County Community Foundation officials.
