Grants will be made from the Valley County Masonic Endowment Fund, established at MCF by the Nemont Manor Foundation. Grant applications will be accepted from March 1 – 31, 2024, and will benefit communities and residents of Valley County.

Applicants must be either a 501(c)(3) nonprofit or an exempt governmental unit. Grants will be up to $5,000. While grants must be used for projects benefiting communities or residents in Valley County, the grantee organization does not need to be based in Valley County. Only one application is allowed per organization.

Eligible projects must be within the following areas of interest: (1) arts and culture, (2) basic human needs, (3) economic development, (4) education, and (5) natural resources and conservation. Ineligible projects include annual or capital campaigns, endowments, debt retirements, and religious, partisan, or sectarian activities.
