The Warren County Foundation continues the Impact Grant Program for 2018. The Foundation awarded four $10,000 Impact Grants in 2017. The Impact Grant program is part of the Foundation’s Strategic Plan. The Foundation’s Grants Committee reviewed 20 excellent proposals sand worked through the competitive selection process.

The unique strategic alliance includes United Way, Franklin City Schools, Kings Local Schools, Wayne Local Schools, JBM Envelope, ADVICS and GMi Companies.
The second Impact Grant was awarded to Services/Programs for At-Risk Youth in Warren County. The implementation is being coordinated by Warren County Family and Children First Council, United Way of Warren County, and Warren County Foundation. More than 120 organizations and agencies providing services to at-risk youth are being targeted.
The third Impact Grant went to the Coalition of Care for the Warren County Family Mobilization project.
