Grants for Pre-K programs available at ECCF
The Elk County Community Foundation (ECCF) is accepting grant applications through January 15 from non-profit organizations and schools that provide educational services for the Pre-K community. The grants are available from the Elk County Society for Special Services Fund (ECSSS).
The ECCSS fund was established to assist any nonprofit agency that provides services for the purposes of providing Pre-K education. The purpose of the grant should be to improve programs that are already established or to develop new programs. This fund will not cover direct operating expenses of an agency, rather it hopes to enhance an organization’s programs.
Some of the Elk County Society for Special Services grant awards from past grant cycles were a $2,000 grant to the Johnsonburg Pre K for a new curriculum, and a $3,000 grant to Dickinson Center Inc for Parents as Teachers program, $2,000 to St. Leo School for program supplies and equipment, and $1,000 to the Ridgway YMCA for IPads.

The Elk County Community Foundation is a non-profit grant-making organization dedicated to improving the lives of people in our geographic area by partnering with philanthropic donors to help them meet their charitable goals.
