Grant Funding Available for Highland County Nonprofits
The 2024 Little Swiss Fund grant application is now available to Highland County nonprofit
organizations!
ABOUT
In 2018, The Community Foundation of Harrisonburg and Rockingham County received a
$10 million gift from an anonymous donor with instructions for the gift to benefit nonprofit
organizations in Highland County, Virginia. The gift established a permanently endowed fund
called The Little Swiss Fund, whose monies are annually invested and distributed to benefit
Highland County nonprofit agencies with 501 (c)(3) tax-exempt status. All grants will be
awarded by the end of the 2024 calendar year.
REQUIREMENTS
Organizations must be tax-exempt public charities under IRS Section 501(c)3 or other nonprofit
status. Organizations must be physically located in Highland County, VA, and the project or
program to be funded must serve the Highland County area. Religious organizations are
welcome to apply. Nonprofit organizations must have annual revenues in excess of $25,000 to
be eligible. Local clubs (civic and otherwise), and recreational facilities are NOT eligible to
apply. Grants are made without regard to factors of gender, race, religion, national origin, or
sexual orientation.
