The 4-1-1: Empower Your Community to Thrive

CFMC aims to enhance the quality of life for current and future Morgan County residents. Through competitive Thrive community development grants, we strive to empower and engage Morgan County communities by improving the quality of life.  Civic organizations and non-profits addressing community development needs are encouraged to apply.  Projects should address the social determinants of health, including neighborhood environment, economic stability, education, healthcare, and community involvement.  The foundation aims to support creative approaches to community needs by providing grants which will benefit a wide range of people.

Thrive grants are a response to a 2019 countywide survey and outreach initiative that identified communities’ priorities, challenges, and opportunities for creating healthier, happier communities.  Findings from this initiative are being used to develop an equitable, comprehensive, competitive grant cycle to build healthier, more resilient communities in Morgan County through CFMC programming, advocacy, and partnerships.

Applicants will be required to match the dollars requested or up to $6,000.  The applicant will document the project’s goals, timeline, community need to be addressed, and a plan for future maintenance and sustainability.  Thrive grants are intended only to support new initiatives.  Partnering organizations will only need to submit one application.
