The Clinton Area Fund of Lenawee County was established back in 2008, when the Lenawee Community Foundation issued a challenge to communities across the county. If a community raised $5,000, the Foundation would match it with $5,000 to begin a designated fund for that city or village. A charter group of Clinton citizens met that challenge, and the Clinton Area Fund of the Lenawee Community Foundation was established. Since its beginning, the funds have been invested, donations have been added, and the fund’s interest has been used to financially support some projects within our community. A few of those projects include the Clinton Veteran’s Memorial Park, repaving the basketball courts, and new welcome signs as you come into town. Last year, the Clinton Area Fund awarded grants to the Clinton Township Public Library, CCS Earth Club, Clinton Wrestling Club Corp, St. John’s Church, and Little Mews Rescue to mention a few.
The Clinton Area Fund is excited to announce that it will be accepting grant requests again. Grant requests will be accepted through Sept. 25th and the total amount awarded will not exceed $5,000. All grants that are given will be to not-for-profit organizations serving the Clinton zip code, such as schools, parks and recreation, social programs, and the village. Funding is not guaranteed; some applicants may receive partial or no amount of their original request. Please contact Paula Trentman with any questions or concerns regarding Clinton Area Fund Grant Applications at 517-263-4696 or [email protected]. All applications must be received by 9/25.
