The Berrien Community Foundation has increased the amount of its For Good Grants. The grants for non-profits have now gone up from $10,000 to $15,000. The BCF says the volunteers who review grant applications noticed the needs faced by non-profits have been growing, and the amount of For Good Grants hadn’t changed for some years. The BCF Board’s Bob Harrison adds as the foundation’s assets have grown, it was decided upping the For Good Grants was the best way to serve the community. The Berrien Community Foundation has also increased the size of its For Good Minor Grants from $1,000 to $1,500. The For Good Grants are for non-profits to support programming. Free community concerts, summer camp scholarships, and teaching parenting classes are just a few of the ideas they’ve funded in recent years. The deadline to apply for a For Good Grant in the current cycle is September 30
