In October, the Scioto Foundation Board of Governors awarded Main Street Portsmouth in Bloom $4,200 from the Ed & Helen to help pay for their “Play Safe Perimeter” project, the installation of a safe and durable fence to surround the new playground at York Park. The fencing will ensure that children remain safe at the playground by preventing them from running into the roadways on each side of the park.
The Scioto Foundation annually awards grants on a quarterly basis in categories of the arts/culture, education, economic development, social services, civic benefit, youth personal development and healthcare. Application deadlines are March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31.
SF grant applications and guidelines may be found on the Scioto Foundation’s website, www.sciotofoundation.org.
