Meetings set to discuss 'On the Table' ideas that could lead to $25,000 or more in grants for projects in county

Woodford County Community Fund press release

Earlier this year, the Woodford County Community Fund hosted "On The Table" conversations at the Life Adventure Center. What we heard most that day was “This was a great event and I really appreciated all the helpful conversation, so what’s next?” This is it!

In five identical upcoming events, we will reveal what we heard from the participants. Our “From the Table to the Streets” presentation will go over what everyone had to say at On The Table and what the community wants to do about it.

Please mark your calendar for either:
July 12: Light dinner from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Versailles Presbyterian Church.
July 13: Light breakfast from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. at Versailles Presbyterian.
July 13: Light lunch from 11:30am to 1:30 p.m. at Versailles Presbyterian.
July 14: Light brunch from 10 a.m. to noon at Troy Presbyterian Church.
Aug. 16: Light dinner from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Versailles Presbyterian.
Each event will cover the same information. Pick a date and time which suits your schedule best and learn what was discussed and how to apply for a grant.

This fall, The Woodford County Community Fund, in partnership with the Joe and Debbie Graviss Foundation, Glenn and Sandi Bromagen and the Quigg Fund will award at least $25,000 in grants to support ideas arising from the inaugural "On the Table" conversations. Successful proposals will address community needs through projects and programs that demonstrate sustainable impact and measurable outcomes. Following an initial review by the Woodford County Community Fund, the community will be invited to weigh-in and help select the final grant recipients. Working together, we can put ideas into action! If not enough grant requests meet the proper criteria, left over funds will be rolled over into next year’s program.

For more information, contact Joe Graviss or Lori Garkovich at woodfordcf@bgcf.org.

"On The Table" is an initiative of the Blue Grass Community Foundation, with special thanks to the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation as a funding and technical assistance partner.
