Aging, Disability Center to receive Giving Circle grant

The Clark County Community Foundation Inc. has announced that the Aging and Disability Resource Center of Clark County was selected as the recipient of this year’s Giving Circle grant allocation.

The foundation created the Giving Circle (GC) Fund in 2019 as another way for generous donors to support the needs and concerns of Clark County, but in a format that allowed more individual participation in the grant allocation process. The GC Fund brings like-minded people and organizations together, who “pool” their donations together and democratically select grant recipient(s) that help make positive changes in Clark County..

Each GC donor contributes $100 to the Fund, which is accumulated from Oct. 1 through Sept. 30 of the following year. One half of the accumulated funds are distributed to three foundation funds (i.e., community, scholarship, and operating funds), with the other half distributed based on ballots cast by GC donors for their favorite eligible nonprofit.

GC donors nominate one or more nonprofit organizations they want to be considered for current year funding. Nominations are accepted and a ballot is provided to each GC donor in September. Then, the GC donor annual meeting is held where the nominated nonprofits are featured and the ballot results are announced.
