Greater Alliance Foundation has awarded grants to a variety of nonprofits that have programming to boost city residents.
Two of the grants went to non-profits focusing on the family.
The first, Alliance Pregnancy Center, received $5,725 to fund the remaining cost of expanding the APC Boutique. This funding helps to double the boutique’s square footage, allowing it to accommodate more inventory and better serve families across the Alliance area. The remaining portion of the new boutique was funded through the Jack and Madge Peters Charitable Fund at the Greater Alliance Foundation.
The second family-focused non-profit to receive funding was Family Empowerment Ministries. It received $1,000 to offset the cost of its community-wide free Baby Shower and Fishing Derby. These events promote parental education, strengthen family bonds and foster lasting community connections to empower both parents and children.
Two more grants were awarded to expand educational and literacy access in the community.
Early Childhood Education Alliance received $30,000 to support essential payroll expenses. This grant ensures ECEA can continue offering professional development opportunities for early childhood centers in the Alliance area, deliver crucial programming through SPARK and strengthen support services for the community’s most at-risk children.
The largest grant was given to Rodman Public Library for $75,000 to assist in the purchase of a new, 34-foot bookmobile. The purchase will allow the library to continue delivering essential mobile library services and educational resources throughout its legal service area.
These recent grants reflect Greater Alliance Foundation’s ongoing commitment to driving positive, lasting change by addressing diverse community needs. By supporting both operational growth and specialized public programming, the foundation ensures local organizations have the resources required to make a meaningful, daily impact on local residents.
“Investing directly in local organizations allows us to address immediate community needs while building a stronger foundation for the future,” said Heidi McClung, executive director of the Greater Alliance Foundation. “From supporting early literacy and family dynamics to enhancing accessibility to mobile services, these grant recipients exemplify the power of local partnership and community dedication.”
