LOCK HAVEN — The Clinton County Community Foundation is opening its next round of grant applications for 2026 Oct. 1.

The deadline to submit a 2026 grant application is by 5 p.m. Dec. 1.

Having approved nearly $600,000 in grants, committed funds and scholarships this calendar year, the Foundation is looking for another robust, competitive grant program in 2026.

“The Foundation strives to make a difference for our residents and local organizations! We encourage all eligible nonprofits and organizations to apply for grants to help in making a difference in our communities,” said Mark Weaver, Foundation board president.

Eligible organizations must be located within Clinton County or demonstrate their services benefit residents in Clinton County. Applicants must be either a nonprofit organization with a 501(c) designation recognized by the IRS or a governmental unit/political subdivision.

2026 grant applications sent via U.S. Postal mail (P.O. Box 652, Lock Haven, Pa., 17745) to CCCF must be postmarked no later than Dec. 1, 2025.

Applications that are hand-delivered must be received at the Foundation office at 350 E. Water St., Lock Haven, by 5 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 1.

The Foundation requires 12 paper copies of the grant application and supporting documents, but just one copy each of the applicant’s IRS 990, IRS 501(c) designation letter and Pennsylvania Bureau of Charitable Organizations (BOCO) certificate or exemption letter.
