COVID-19 EMERGENCY GRANTMAKING SUPPORT
Crushing financial demands are growing around us, caused by the economic shutdown of COVID-19. Two hometown nonprofits reached out to the Tipp City Foundation for immediate help in responding to those demands. Here’s how the foundation helped, and here’s how you can help, too.
A total of $15,000.00 has been awarded by the distribution committee. These dollars may be leveraged by the nonprofits to grow matching gifts. Donor Advisors from foundation funds will be invited to contribute towards these grant requests.
ECONOMIC RELIEF
Downtown Tipp City Partnership, $10,000.00, seeds the Coronavirus Relief Program. Emergency aid to employers in the downtown, impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, is now available. Applications for relief, and the link to contribute, are found at www.downtowntippcity.org, or call (937) 667-0883.
The goal of the program is to maintain community vibrancy and economic prosperity during and after the COVID-19 pandemic to assist in limiting its economic impact on the residents of Tipp City.
SOCIAL SERVICES
Tipp Monroe Community Services, $5,000.00, replenishes the year-round Community Relief Program. This emergency fund assists families with rent, prescriptions or utility costs. Residents of Tipp City, Monroe Township and Bethel Township are eligible to apply. If you need help, or if you would like to contribute to this program, contact TMCS at (937) 667-8631.
Since 1969, TMCS has identified the needs and wants of the community and found the resources to provide them. This is an August Henke Comfort for the Needy Fund grant.
The distance between people to stay safe from coronavirus is 6 feet. The grantmaking distance between community need and reaction time is the length of a telephone line. Other nonprofits in need of emergency economic assistance may contact Jim Ranft at (937) 528-2482 or email info@tippfoundatin.org.
The deadline for 2Q grant submissions is June 1. Grant application forms are found at www.tippfoundation.org.
