Grant Request Deadlines

HCCF has no limit on the amount of funding requested. However, requests $200,000 or

more are considered Signature Grants. Signature Grant requests will only be accepted between

November 1 and December 15 to be considered for funding in the following calendar year.

Decisions for signature grants may be announced anytime during the 2011 year.

Applications are currently being accepted for the Spring Grant cycle. Applications are

available on the HCCF web site, www.hccfindiana.org, or contact the HCCF staff at (812) 738-

6668 for a copy. To facilitate the preparation of complete grant applications, applicants are en-

couraged to utilize Foundation staff assistance. A grant application submitted for review must be

done no later than one week prior to the submission deadline. Grant applications must be

hand delivered to the HCCF office by 5:00 pm Friday, January 14, or may be postmarked by

January 15, 2011. Grant applications will be reviewed and final announcements should be made

by mid-March. Contact the Foundation office or jtimberlake@hccfindiana.org if you have any

questions or desire assistance.

During the Fall 2010 Grant Cycle, HCCF imposed a moratorium on the match requirement for

capital grants to schools. The purpose of this moratorium was to help the schools during this

economic crisis. We are pleased to announce HCCF will continue this moratorium for the

Spring 2011 Grant Cycle.

We will now accept electronically submitted 990 forms, Secretary of State Business

Entity Reports, 501(c)3 letters of determination and annual audits. Once the HCCF staff has

received and approved, an email confirmation of receipt will be sent to each agency. The check-

list in the grant application will remain as is and the agency will place an “e” for emailed on the

checklist. This is optional and our purpose is to cut back on the amount of paper used and time

spent copying these documents.

North Harrison Middle School students

Brittany Lamon and Olivia Miller learn to play the

piano with the new Yamaha Keyboard Lab

purchased this spring with HCCF funding and

matching funds from the school corporation.

Teachers are now teaching Yamaha Music in

Education curriculum to sixth, seventh, eighth

grade and high school music theory students. The

lab contains 16 keyboards accommodating 30 stu-

dents. The keyboards have hundreds of instru-

ment voices and styles. There are more than 400

lessons and complete lesson plans, worksheets,

presentations, charts, song sheets and testing

materials and more!

The Harrison County Community Foundation Board, Advisory Council and Staff

would like to express their sincere gratitude to Paul Beckort and Qudsia Davis for their

dedication and many years of service to the Foundation Board.

Graduating seniors, it’s getting close to that time to fill out your FAFSA, (Free Application for

Federal Student Aid). This is the document that determines if you are eligible for Pell Grants, Work

Studies, and Federal Student Loans. HCCF also looks at this document. The FAFSA will be available

online January 1st. Remember, whether you want to be a truck driver, beautician, nurse or accountant,

the HCCF has scholarships for vocational and 4 year programs.

The North Harrison 8th grade Student Council President

Megan Smith presents James Goldman a check for The Betty R.

Goldman Memorial Relay For Life Fund. HCCF provided a 2:1

match for this contribution.

The council’s project was a haunted house for the students to

tour during lunch. “The student council members worked very hard

and gave up their free time to accomplish this project,” states

Jamie Polk, Student Council sponsor.

Members of the Harrison County Youth as Philanthropists Nolan Berkley and Rachel Butler conduct

the last phase of their November fundraiser at Lanesville Community Schools. Nolan and Rachel

held quarter wars in their school classrooms to help raise money for the youth philanthropy

endowment. The classroom teacher with the lowest score and the highest score from both Lanes-

ville Elementary & Lanesville Jr./Sr. High School had to karaoke in front of the student body.

Lanesville Community School Corporation faculty Harriette Seiler, Tim Bridges, Lindsay Davis and

Erin Green were the lucky “winners”!
