In celebration of 60th years of giving back to the community, the Licking County Foundation will begin awarding LC Event Grants of up to $1,000 to sponsor community events occurring throughout Licking County that are being hosted by 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations and government entities. As the Foundation is committed to enriching the quality of life of citizens of Licking County, priority will be given to events that:
• Engage our diverse communities across the county and stimulate a large portion of the population to participate
• Represent a unique and unduplicated opportunity for the community
• Support organizations which deliver effective existing programs to assist or empower underserved or disadvantaged populations
• Make a clear difference in the quality of life for a substantial number of people
• Strengthen an agency’s effectiveness or stability

Proceeds from fundraising events must be designated to remain in Licking County. LC Event Grants are limited to one approved grant per calendar year per organization. Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis. Organizations are encouraged to apply at least two months prior to their event to allow for application review and grant processing. Funds will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis, so it is advantageous to submit applications as soon as possible. Special consideration will be given to ensure diverse geographical distribution of grants throughout the county.
