The Community Foundation of the Mahoning Valley has awarded $921,603 in its second grant cycle of the year to support nonprofits meeting the needs of local residents.

With support from fundholders and the foundation’s discretionary funds, $382,145 was awarded through the CFMV General Grant. Meanwhile, three of CFMV’s supporting foundations accounted for more than half of funds disbursed this grant cycle — the Western Reserve Health Foundation awarded $186,500, the Trumbull Memorial Health Foundation awarded $191,500, and the William Swanston Charitable Fund awarded $130,500.

In addition, funds were awarded through a pair of annual grant opportunities. Through the Young Philanthropist Fund, the Mahoning Valley Young Professionals awarded $2,000 each to Hyer Merit Association, Our Community Kitchen and the National Center for Urban Solutions.

The Fund for Women & Girls awarded a total of $5,000 to three nonprofits — Autism Society Mahoning Valley, The EMBER Project and Honeycomb Arts & Wellness Collective — at its annual Impact Builder Grant event in May.

“We continue to see need from so many residents of the Valley, and we’re always encouraged by the ways nonprofits are rising to the occasion by creating and expanding programs,” said CFMV President Casey Krell. “From statewide organizations to small neighborhood-based groups, people are stepping up to ensure those they serve have what they need.”
