Community Foundation Awards Nearly $1 Million in Special Project Grants
St. Joseph County is a great place to call home — but not everyone has it so easy. That’s why the Community Foundation is proud to support the local organizations working to lift up those on the margins. This spring, the Foundation awarded nearly $1 million in Special Project Grants to seven area organizations. Among the largest recipients was St. Margaret's House, which will use its $250,000 award as part of its ongoing capital campaign.
