The Crown Point Community Foundation reviews grants three times throughout the year. These unrestricted grants are made possible because of the generosity of our donors. Unrestricted Endowment Funds allow the Foundation’s Board of Directors the flexibility of distributing grants to community projects, programs and to emergencies in the service area. The Grant Committee reviews the applications for projects that fit the mission and vision of the Crown Point Community Foundation; that is, to enhance the quality of life in Crown Point and South Lake County. The Committee makes recommendations to the Board of Directors who then approves the grants for funding. The next grant cycle is September 1, 2015.
