FINDLAY, OH (WLIO) - The Findlay-Hancock County Community Foundation is currently accepting proposals for special grants related to the solar eclipse that will occur on April 8, 2024.
The foundation is specifically interested in projects focusing on education and educational activities about the eclipse. Nonprofit organizations, which include government entities that offer services to Findlay and Hancock County residents, may apply for funding by submitting a brief application on the foundation's online grant platform. The application deadline is October 2, and grants will be awarded in November.
"It would be great if we could reach individuals of all ages, from really young to those that are more seasoned in life, with things about astronomy, about the eclipse, and about space exploration. This a really good opportunity to get people passionate about outer space, about the solar system, and about STEM and science. So, programs that really help connect our community to what's going to be happening in April are outstanding," said Brian Treece, foundation president and CEO.
