Perry County nonprofit grants are now open for organizations working to strengthen local programs and improve residents’ lives
Applications are open through Monday, Feb. 1, 2027, and are accepted through The Foundation for Enhancing Communities (TFEC). Two grant opportunities serving Perry County are available: the Perry County Community Foundation (PCCF) and the Harold M. Greaney Trust Fund. Interested nonprofits can learn more at www.tfec.org/grants.
In 2026, TFEC awarded more than $40,000 to nonprofit organizations addressing local needs in Perry County. Grants helped the Perry County Literacy Council provide housing assistance to families facing instability and Neighbor Helping Neighbor Food Bank purchase nutritious food for residents experiencing food insecurity. Additional funding supported youth workforce training through the LEAF Project and specialized training for first responders assisting people living with dementia through PennCares.
“These grants help local service organizations turn ideas into meaningful support for their neighbors. I’m proud to see these investments strengthen our communities and improve lives across the county,” said Emi Boz, philanthropic officer at TFEC who oversees Perry County.
