The Cassville Community Foundation (CCF) will celebrate it’s 15th anniversary this fall. In those 15 years, the organization as a whole has given back over $400,000 to the Barry County community in grants.
“We live in such a generous community and it’s obvious when you look at what we’ve been able to give back to our area,” said Dr. Chad Johnson, Foundation President.
“We have 21 funds under our umbrella and the people behind those funds have such a heart for Cassville and Barry County.
“Over these past 15 years, we’ve been able to help Cassville, Exeter and Southwest Schools. What we’ve been able to help the most with is getting food to kids that may not get any when they are away from school. It’s been a humbling experience to hear about the needs of our kids in the community,” said Johnson.
The Cassville Community Foundation recently gave a grant to the Cassville YMCA and was able to fully fund a water safety course to every Cassville first grade student attending summer school.
Operating under CCF is the Cassville Education Fund. This is a permanent endowment fund that helps aide in education needs for Cassville Schools. During the upcoming school year, high schoolers will notice a new media resource area in the Cassville High School library. The Education Fund awarded a grant last spring that would provide additional equipment for students to work on special projects for podcasts, videos and use a green screen.
The 2019 grant applications will be available online, at the Cassville Area Chamber of Commerce office as well as Johnson Chiropractic on Main Street beginning Monday, August 5.
Those applying for grants will be able to turn in the application September 2 through September 30. Grants will be awarded in November.
“We can’t thank our donors enough. They truly deisre the best for the future of our community,” said Johnson.
