Mini Grants & Special Grant Initiatives

COVID-19 Special Grant Fund

Because of the current COVID-19 health crisis, the PCHF Board of Directors has elected to create a special grant fund to assist local NPO’s with their community support activities. To do this, it was approved that all undesignated grant funds be pulled and designated to COVID-19 relief. This includes Mini-Grant Funds.

These funds are available to PCHF Grantee organizations providing critical services in support of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Qualifications

Funding available ONLY to current PCHF grantee organizations
Services must provided within the PCHF service area, e.g. the greater Phoenixville region.

Grant Request Format
