♦ Community Service Grant ♦ Field of Interest Grant ♦

♦ Karl Peterson & Lynn Foundation Fund Grant ♦
Our grant programs are the most direct way that the CRCF works to improve the community. Through the grants listed below, funds are distributed throughout the year, addressing the needs of our community. If you have questions regarding any of our grants, please contact Lisa Lynde, Program Officer.
This type of grant is unrestricted in nature - meaning that the funds for this grants process may be used to benefit a wide variety of charitable projects or needs. This is by far the most flexible and powerful tool available to the Foundation to address the needs of the community. Applications are carefully reviewed by a volunteer committee of community members and recommendations are made to the Board of Directors for the final approval.
These grants are made possible through the generosity of those who have established or who have contributed to an unrestricted fund.

This type of grant makes awards based on matching requests with the purposes of the funds from which the grant monies originate. For example, a request for funds to buy books for a library could match a fund with the purpose to fund education efforts at the Foundation.
