HENDERSONVILLE, N.C.: Applications for Community Foundation of Henderson County’s Fletcher Community Fund grants are due to CFHC by 5 p.m., Friday, April 1.
Established in 1990, the Fletcher Community Fund is a component fund of the Community Foundation that was created to provide cultural, educational, historic and civic enrichment for the Town of Fletcher.
Grants are reviewed and recommended by an advisory committee of Fletcher residents. Grants are generally considered for specific projects and not ongoing organizational support. Applicants must be nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organizations, IRS-equivalents or accepted fiscal agents.
Key areas of interest for these grants include arts and culture, history and historic preservation, education, and civic activities. The Fletcher Community Fund encourages proposals that demonstrate collaboration, affect a broad segment of the population, are relevant to overall community needs and available resources, and have reasonable prospects for future support.
