Shell Berry, president and CEO of the Community Foundation for the central Savannah River Area, said:
The foundation has developed five grant categories: Relief Reimbursement, Lost Revenue, Increased Operating Costs, Infrastructure Needs for Public Lands, and Long-term Recovery Programming. These categories aim to provide comprehensive support for affected communities and organizations.
The foundation has also recruited a volunteer grant panel that is made up of individuals who represent many of the counties we fund.
Working with the staff of the foundation, this volunteer panel will ensure that funding decisions reflect the needs and perspective of the communities we serve.
Their insights will be invaluable in evaluating applications and making final funding decisions.
