Financial awards will help 44 organizations carry out their missions in the community.
The Columbia Foundation, which raises, manages and distributes funds to support Howard County nonprofits, gave $295,000 in grants to 44 nonprofit organizations in Howard County, according to a statement issued by the organization Monday.
These are the first grant distributions from the foundation's new community grant program which combines operational and project requests into one funding cycle.
The amount awarded is $89,300 more than was granted last year.
"These grants provide support for nonprofits meeting the needs of our county's most vulnerable residents as well as those enhancing our lives through arts and cultural programs,” Priscilla Reaver, senior program officer for the Columbia Foundation, said in the statement "This support is crucial during a time when our community needs these organizations the most."
