Brundige Legacy Foundation

We are pleased to announce the creation of a wonderful opportunity for the Franklin County Extension 4-H Program. The Brundige Legacy Foundation has been established at The Columbus Foundation. The fund seeks to provide grant opportunities to Franklin County 4-H members and clubs at the county level along with the 4-H Professionals. It is our intent by offering grant awards within Franklin County that there will be new opportunities generated for 4-H youth development. The program guidelines are as follows:

Amount

  • Up to $1,000 per proposal

Applicant Eligibility 

  • Any 4-H members and/or clubs in Franklin County 4-H
  • 4-H Professionals

Requirements
Any 4-H club applying must have a current Ohio 4-H club charter, an active checking account, and follow all Ohio 4-H requirements and guidelines for club finance management. Check will be made in the club’s name. 4-H Professionals can request funding through the Franklin
County 4-H EIN or through 4-H Council.

Application
Submit up to a two-page letter summarizing the following:

  • the project
  • the financial support requested,
  • the dates and locations of the planned activities

Deadline
The application is a rolling process with no deadline. However, the Foundation desires to be a lead partner and requests that projects be submitted at least three-six months before the anticipated activities.
