GAR Foundation always has and always will support health and social service agencies serving Summit County.
In supporting this important work, GAR divides its grant funding into two specific categories: Community Care, and Community Catalyst.
Community Care Grants
Community Care grants are traditional charity grants targeting low-income populations.
Our Community Care grants priorities:

-
For programs helping seniors remain in their homes
-
For organizations which provide health care to people at risk
-
To those who help address immediate housing needs of low-income families
Community Catalyst Grants
Community Catalyst grants support proactive, collaborative efforts.
Our Community Catalyst grants priorities:
-
