ECF Relief Grant Application Deadline Extended

The Edwardsville Community Foundation's Relief Fund is accepting grant applications from nonprofits seeking to improve disaster and emergency preparedness. The deadline for applications is April 1, 2025. The ECF Relief Fund provides support for all members of the community affected by sudden and unexpected natural, manmade, and civil disasters and to meet the long-term needs of the community related to disaster and emergency preparedness. These grants are made possible by the hundreds of donors to the ECF Relief Fund.
 
Criteria for this round of funding from the ECF Relief Fund are the following:

• Capital improvements related to emergency and disaster preparedness
• Environmental improvements related to emergency and disaster preparedness (Could include training of personnel if directly related to emergency or disaster preparedness)
• Disaster and emergency support needs for long-term viability

“ECF would like to hear from local nonprofit organizations that are putting a plan in place for how to best prepare for a future disaster or emergency. Or possibly the organization is preparing a response plan so their constituents will be better served when unexpected events occur,” Pamela Farrar, ECF executive director, said. “If you're thinking about how your organization could be better prepared, I encourage you to reach out with any questions and to complete our grant application by April 1, 2025.”
