The County Foundation Celebrates Over $10 Million in Grants Facilitated
The County Foundation is proud to announce that we have hit a major milestone in our history and have officially facilitated more than $10 million in grants since 2008, directly supporting the people, places, and projects that shape Prince Edward County.
This milestone is more than just a number as it reflects years of trust, collaboration, and meaningful progress. The County Foundation has become a trusted steward of charitable giving. We work with donors through donor-advised funds, scholarships, bequests, and grant programs to empower individuals to invest in the causes they care about most.
Our founding Board members led by example, personally contributing to establish our very first fund. This generous act laid the groundwork for our continued growth and expanding impact in the community.
We celebrate this achievement alongside the generous members of our community who partner with us to create lasting impact by establishing a charitable fund with us or by contributing to an existing fund. One notable example is the Huff Family Fund, which was established in 2017 and grants $250k annually to local organizations and the Huff Family through The County Foundation provided a $2 million gift to the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation.
The County Foundation works closely with our local municipality, administering several key grant programs on its behalf to support critical community initiatives that enhance our resident’s quality of life. This includes the Municipal Community Grants & PEC Arts Fund, Municipal Financial Relief Grants, and the Municipal Agricultural Grants.
Looking ahead, The County Foundation remains committed to building a community where all can belong and thrive. This moment is not only a reflection of The County Foundation’s impact, but a powerful reminder of what is possible thanks to the generosity of many.
