Now through April 27, Skaggs Foundation is accepting grant applications and concept papers from organizations wishing to receive funds from Skaggs Legacy Endowment. Skaggs Legacy Endowment is a restricted endowment fund made possible by a generous gift from CoxHealth in 2013. Since inception, more than $3.5 million has been awarded in Skaggs Legacy Endowment grants.
To be considered for Skaggs Legacy Endowment funding, programs must be health and wellness related and serve Stone and/or Taney County residents. Eligible applicants must be nonprofit with current proof of 501(c)3 status, a school or governmental agency. Priority will be given to collaborative initiatives that address access to care, child and family safety, dental care, mental health, healthy lifestyles and substance abuse.
“Through Skaggs Legacy Endowment, we are investing in the health and wellness of our community today, knowing that the impact of good health will last for generations,” says Skaggs Legacy Endowment Grants Committee Chairman Nita Jane Ayres. “Through these grants, we’ve impacted thousands of lives in Stone and Taney counties and look forward to seeing more great projects serve our community.”
Two levels of grants are currently available:
In October 2017, Skaggs Foundation awarded nearly $600,000 to local agencies including funds for a school nurse at Taneyville School District, dental vouchers at Ozarks Area Community Action Corporation, fitness equipment for the Branson-Hollister Senior Center, and hydration refilling stations for Galena-Abesville Elementary School.
