MORE: More funds coming: Butler County governments getting boost for coronavirus response
The goal is to make sure “no one is behind the curve” when the changes are implemented in 2021, according to Barnett.
Sessions have been scheduled as follows:
Sept. 15: 9 a.m. Zoom meeting
Sept. 30: Noon lunch meeting at MCF office
Oct. 15: 5 p.m. Zoom meeting
Any organization who wishes to request grant funding or sponsorship dollars from the MCF must have at least one person participate in one of the sessions above, Barnett said. She said organization representatives can register online for one of the sessions at www.mcfoundation.org.
The updates to the process are a result of suggestions made during the 2018 Strategic Planning session that led to the creation of an Ad-hoc Grant Process Review Committee, Barnett said. The committee evaluated the grant process and made recommended upgrades at the April 28 board meeting. All changes were approved unanimously by the board, she said.
Patti Gage, MCF board president, said the changes will make the grant process “more efficient and more impactful.”
