A YEAR IN REVIEW Supporting New and Ongoing Programs Leveraging Our Grants for Greater Impact In addition to supporting specific programs, we also fund general operations, knowing that organizations need the flexibility to put money where it is most needed. Often, organizations that receive operating grants from us leverage those funds to attract additional donors and volunteers. For example, the Giles Health and Family Center used our $2,500 operating grant to cover a portion of the match requirement for a new vehicle to provide nonemergency medical transportation. The CFNRV awarded over $22,000 in operating support grants through its 2017 responsive grant program.

The Giles Health and Family Center provides Adult Day Care and Early Head Start

In November 2017, the CFNRV awarded the NRV Agency on Aging $1,550 to provide essential personal and household supplies to 57 low-income seniors in Floyd and Giles counties. All those served were home-bound and many were in remote locations in rural areas with few shopping opportunities nearby and limited transportation. Through this grant, the Agency also developed a relationship with Plenty!, which provides access to fresh, healthy foods to those in need in Floyd County. Plenty! was able to deliver supplies on behalf of the Agency and to identify additional clients for future years. The CFNRV encourages grantees to collaborate, to reach out to their peers, and to leverage those relationships for the benefit of the community, an approach both the Agency on Aging and Plenty! take every day in their work.
