GILFORD — Launched earlier in 2022 with a substantial endowment gift made by Barbara and the late Robert Daniell, Gilford Community Church’s Daniell Fund is now accepting applications from nonprofit organizations. The purpose of the fund is to improve and better the lives of people in the Lakes Region.
“Our grant committee will look for opportunities where a modest amount of funding can help an organization accomplish a significant result,” said Pastor Michael Graham, who noted grants will range from $500 to $25,000.
In May, the Daniell Fund awarded $25,000 each to Lakes Region Mental Health Center and Lakes Region Community Developers. “We are interested in supporting projects that benefit families of low to moderate income,” added Graham.
Applications for support are due Thursday, Dec. 15. Grant recipients will be notified by Feb. 28. To learn more about the Daniell Fund, including how to apply for support, visit gilfordcommunitychurch.org.
Located in Gilford, GCC is an inclusive, open community with a broadly ecumenical spirit that welcomes people from all denominational and cultural backgrounds. Viewable live on YouTube, Sunday service at GCC takes place at 10 a.m. at 19 Potter Hill Road.
