Seeking to have an impact beyond education, in 2021, the Foundation expanded its mission “...to inspire generosity by connecting philanthropic resources with essential needs, providing leadership to help resolve community challenges, and creating valuable assets for the future,” thus becoming the Holmes County Education & Community Foundation. We will be accepting applications for our first grant cycle in the fall of 2025. Consider helping us to grow the community fund, thus increasing impact and allowing us to respond to priority issues now and in the future.
