The Golden Belt Community Foundation is now inviting proposals for its upcoming competitive grant cycle, Executive Director Christy Tustin said.
Applications now are being accepted from qualified 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations and public institutions, including schools, government entities, and clubs and civic/community organizations in Barton, Pawnee, Rush, and Stafford counties. Funds are available primarily for the health and well being of youth, but limited funds are available in many other categories, Tustin said.
 Applications are available online by clicking the Grants and Scholarships link on the foundation website at www.goldenbeltcf.org.  New updated grant guidelines also are posted on the website.  If you have any questions, please contact the GBCF office at (620) 792-3000.
 Applications must be postmarked by Monday, July 2. Grants will be awarded the end of July.
At $8.66 million in total assets and 122 funds under management, the foundation has overseen the reinvestment of over $1.6 million in the form of grants since 2002.  For more information about the foundation, call 620-792-3000 or see their website at www.goldenbeltcf.org.
