Fergus Falls, MN – West Central Initiative invites grant proposals from January 13 until February 10 at 5 p.m. for the Floyd and Harriet Miller Endowment Fund and Inga M. Johnson Endowment Fund.
“These funds were created by philanthropists who wanted to support their favorite causes and organizations in the Fergus Falls community,” said West Central Initiative’s Director of Development Rebecca Lynn Petersen. West Central Initiative will award grants ranging between $500 to $2,500 and make grant decisions in March.
Floyd and Harriet Miller Endowment Fund: The Millers wished to leave a lasting impact in the Fergus Falls community for all the kindness they received from residents and organizations during their lifetimes. West Central Initiative will award funds to nonprofit organizations primarily serving Fergus Falls.
Inga M. Johnson Endowment Fund: Inga Johnson was actively involved with her community and was philanthropic throughout her lifetime. It was Inga’s wish that this fund support families in Fergus Falls. Eligible applicants must be government or nonprofit organizations benefiting educational, charitable, scientific, literary, and religious needs in Fergus Falls.
Organizations primarily serving Fergus Falls should submit one application and will be considered for either a Floyd and Harriet Miller Endowment Fund grant or an Inga M. Johnson Endowment Fund grant. Click here to see grant guidelines or apply.
