Mount Vernon nonprofits have two new funding streams, through the Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation. The Mount Vernon Community Betterment Today Fund and the Mount Vernon Community Betterment Tomorrow Fund will make grants for efforts often taken on by nonprofit organizations, such as child care, arts, literacy, youth development, and education. Details about grant eligibility, timeline and award limits will be announced later this year. Established through a lead gift from residents Les and Katrina Garner, these funds will provide a permanent and flexible source of funding to help the community meet changing needs and take advantage of new opportunities.
