A Clearfield County Charitable Foundation grant helped the Bilger’s Rocks Association upgrade its playground equipment with new swings, toddler seats with mulch underneath. The CCCF is now accepting applications for its next grant cycle.
Since 2006, the Clearfield County
Charitable Foundation has given over $84,000 to charitable organizations
throughout the county.
Last year over $20,000 was awarded
to 19 various charities including local playgrounds, cancer support groups,
children and parenting programs, senior exercise classes, food banks, library
services, historical societies, and student art beautification efforts.
The Big Run Park Association said
of their award for playground equipment, “We can assure you that the new
equipment will be enjoyed by community members for many years to come.”
Jamie Houseknecht, Program
Coordinator of the Bob Perks Cancer Assistance Fund noted that their group has
a goal of lessening “the unrelenting burden of unpaid bills so cancer patients
worry less about their financial situation and focus their energy on their
health and recovery.”
The CCCF aggress with their goals
and gave grants to both the Bob Perks Cancer Assistance Fund and Clearfield
Cancer Support Inc. to assist them in their efforts.
The Central Pennsylvania Food Bank
was also grateful for their funding which went to the Fresh Express food
distribution program at the Moshannon Valley YMCA.
“Because of you, thousands of
families do not have to choose between paying heating bills or paying for
groceries this winter,” said Joe Arthur, Executive Director of the group.
All of these monies were given as
part of the CCCF’s goal to support various groups that provide services in the
areas of health, education, social welfare, arts/culture, and
conservation/environment.
They are now excepting applications
for their 2019 grants.
To be eligible for a grant award,
applying agencies/organizations must provide services in local communities and
be located within Clearfield County.
Priority is given to projects that
have potential for long-term impact, support the county’s overall needs, do not
duplicate other services and will aid residents not currently being served.
The grants are funded from money
held by the CCCF in its Community Fund and the CCL Donor Designated Fund for
organizations in Clearfield Borough/Curwensville Borough/Lawrence Township.
These funds were established for
the specific purpose of making grants to worthwhile projects benefiting Clearfield
County communities.
The deadline for the submission of
grant applications is Sept. 27. Awards
will be announced by January 2020.

In
addition to offering their annual grants, the CCCF handles the Sarah Jane
Mattern Fund which provides funding for organizations in Osceola Mills, and
they make annual donations to area food banks from their Basic Needs Fund.
The CCCF is also home for many local charitable endowment funds for various charities within Clearfield County allowing them to grow and benefit the local community forever.
