Applications close April 30.

(Ripley County, Ind.) - The Ripley County Community Foundation is accepting grant applications between April 1 through April 30 to benefit nonprofit organizations serving Osgood from the Frank Tarter Community Trust Fund and the Ray E. Herman & Louise (Herman) Crum Memorial Endowment Fund.

Both endowment funds were established by lifelong Osgood residents who wanted to improve the quality and enjoyment of life for the residents of Osgood and the rural community surrounding Osgood.

Fred Crum established the Ray Herman and Louise (Herman) Crum Memorial Endowment Fund in 2002 to support the town of Osgood. Frank Tarter, in his Last Will and Testament, created the Frank Tarter Community Trust Fund in 1998. He hoped that his generosity would provide a way for the Town of Osgood to become a better place in which to live and provide enjoyment, comfort, and security to its residents.

The application and full eligibility criteria can be found on the Ripley County Community Foundation’s website at https://rccfonline.org/grants/. Applications will close Thursday, April 30.

If you are interested in learning how to make a donation to the Frank Tarter Community Trust Fund or the Ray Herman & Louise (Herman) Crum Memorial Endowment Fund, or to establish a new charitable giving fund to leave your own legacy, please contact the Ripley County Community Foundation by calling 812-933-1098, emailing office@rccfonline.org, or stopping by the office at 13 East George Street, Suite B, Batesville, IN 47006.
