The York County Community Foundation (YCCF) is taking a step to advance racial equity in the community with the creation of a grant fund dedicated to support racial equity efforts. The Racial Equity Fund will have two components, a pool of resources to make grants now and a permanently endowed fund that will generate annual grants for racial equity initiatives year after year.
Decisions for this fund will be made by a new advisory committee of volunteer community members. The committee will determine the purpose, parameters, and process for making grant awards from the fund. Those parameters are still being designed, and grant applications are not being accepted at this time.
More information about the committee is available at http://www.yccf.org. Grant application information will be posted when it is available. Community members, companies, and foundations that wish to contribute to the Racial Equity Fund may donate any amount.
