Foundation Invites 2025 Grant Applications
RUTHERFORDTON, NC – RHI Legacy Foundation is accepting grant applications beginning on Monday, June 16 through Thursday, July 31 at 5:00 PM. Current focus areas are chronic disease, healthy eating, and active living. A thorough description of each of the focus areas and eligibility requirements appears in the grants section of their website at www.RHILegacyFoundation.com. RHI Legacy Foundation welcomes grant applications from organizations that serve people in Rutherford County. Exempt governmental units, religious institutions, and non-profit entities may apply.
Grants will be evaluated based on the measurable impact of the project, the consistency with the mission of the Foundation, the requestor’s ability to sustain the project beyond grant funding, and the project’s adherence to the 2025 focus areas. Agencies selected for approval will receive funds in October of 2025. Subsequent reports will be required for partners that receive grant funding.
Agencies with questions about eligibility or who need assistance with the application process are encouraged to call Jill Miracle, the Foundation’s community impact director at 828-202-4630. Miracle states, “We are available to discuss grant applications at any time during the process. It is our desire to deepen relationships with applying organizations to learn more about their work and to assist them as they complete their requests.”
Since 2014, RHI Legacy Foundation has awarded more than $16,700,000 to local organizations to create or expand health-related services in Rutherford County, to increase organizational capacity, and to provide access to healthy foods and recreational activities. In addition, the Foundation made a major investment in the new $17,000,000 Legacy Soccer Park located in Forest City.
Interested applicants are encouraged to follow RHI Legacy Foundation on Facebook for grant-related information throughout the year.
