The Twin Lakes Community Foundation has awarded more than $258,000 in local Giving Tree Grants since 2002.

Any IRS 501(c)(3) public charity, public school, government agency or hospital in Baxter, Marion, Fulton, and Izard counties is eligible to apply. Other applicants may be considered if the project has a clear charitable purpose for public benefit. Grants are not made to individuals. Applications will be reviewed by a grantmaking committee from Twin Lakes Community Foundation.

Heather Larkin, president and CEO of the Community Foundation says through Giving Tree grants, Arknasas’ nonprofit organizations find support as they implement ideas to improve their communities. The grants are selected by local people in affiliate areas and awarded to local organizations.

Funding for the Giving Tree program comes from hundreds of Arkansas donors who support the work of the Community Foundation. For more information about our Giving Tree Society, visit arcf.org/localgiving.
