Washington County Community Foundation Announces Spring Grant Recipients

Grants totaling over $7,900.00 were awarded to several Washington County organizations by the Washington County Community Foundation for the Spring 2016 grant cycle. Grants are awarded from the Foundation’s Touch Tomorrow funds.

Blue River Services is the recipient of a $406.00 grant from the Tony and Jeanette Nolan and Rachel Spaulding Davis Touch Tomorrow Funds. The grant will be used partially to match another grant Blue River Services received to install automatic doors in the two Washington County facilities so the public may have safe, unobstructed access to services.

The Burl and Carmelita Jean and Garland and Norma Sue White Touch Tomorrow Funds have awarded Hoosier Hills PACT a $5,575.00 grant to paint and repair the exterior of the Domestic Violence Shelter. The paint will help to offer a more welcoming appearance for clients and guests in the community.

The YMCA of Washington County is the recipient of a $2,000.00 grant from the Gene and Judy Hedrick and Brent and Lauren Elliott Touch Tomorrow Funds. The grant will be used for “Afterhours at the Y”, a program for students age 12 and older to come to the YMCA on two Friday nights in the summer. The grant will be used for advertising, Sumo wrestling contest, and movie licensing.

Washington County Community Foundation is a nonprofit public charity established in 1993 to serve donors, award grants, and provide leadership to improve Washington County forever
