The Ripley County Community Foundation is honored to announce that it is now accepting grant applications for the Holton Warhorses Legacy Fund. All nonprofit organizations which serve Holton are invited to apply for up to $500 in grant funding to support a charitable program or project. The Holton Warhorses Legacy Fund will accept applications between June 1st and June 30th.
In the wake of the devastating 2012 tornado that struck the town of Holton, claiming lives and causing widespread destruction, the community foundation stepped up to collect donations and aid recovery efforts and fund the construction of a storm shelter. Although the storm shelter was never built, the fund, now called the Holton Warhorses Legacy Fund, has grown substantially over time.
The Holton Warhorses Legacy Fund application must be submitted virtually via the Ripley County Community Foundation website at https://rccfonline.org/grants/ no later than 11:59 PM on June 30th.
