Grant Purpose
Given the impact of state and federal funding reductions and relationship of current economic conditions to the community’s ability to continue or increase its level of personal charitable giving, the County has seen an increase in the number of requests and dollars requested by social service agencies which provide a variety of services to Merrimack County and other residents in the region. As this activity has picked up, so has the need for a clear, well-defined policy to guide the budget allocation of the County’s limited resources.
Grant period
January 1 – December 31, 2025.
