Cleburne County Community Foundation Awards 13 Grants to Local Nonprofits

Cleburne County Community Foundation, an affiliate of Arkansas Community Foundation, announced more than $31,000 in Giving Tree Grants for nonprofits. These grant awards were presented at a Grant Reception on May 2 at the Breakin’ Bread in Heber Springs.

“We had an amazing evening with great attendance. It is an honor to work with our nonprofits, like Breakin’ Bread, to showcase the work they do on a weekly basis,” said Susan Vowels, executive director of Cleburne County Community Foundation. Each of the grants were presented by CCCF board members and then the nonprofit was able to showcase their work in the county.

“Our Giving Tree program is our flagship grant making program. It represents our commitment to and the importance of local decision making to meet local needs,” said Heather Larkin, president and CEO of the Community Foundation. “Funding for our Giving Tree grants comes from individuals and families within our affiliate areas who want to improve their community.

These endowments provide a permanent source of funding for local charitable causes.”
