The latest round of For Good Grants, totaling more than $100,000, has been announced by the Berrien Community Foundation. President Lisa Cripps-Downey tells WSJM News the BCF is continuing the For Ever Operational Sustainability Grants that were started last year in response to the pandemic.
“As we looked this year, we saw that there was still a need for that,” Cripps-Downey said. “Some of our organizations still just need basic operational support so they can hang on and continue to provide services during this time.”
Some of those grants are aimed at arts groups, like the Southwest Michigan Symphony Orchestra and Shadowland on Silver Beach. The For Good Grants are also, in many cases, pandemic-related. For example, Cripps-Downey says St. Joseph Today is a recipient as many downtown businesses struggle to support the usual summer activities.
The Board of Directors of the Berrien County Youth Fair announce that the 75
th Anniversary Fair dates will be August 16-21, 2021. If COVID 19 restrictions still remain through the summer months, BCYF will have an exhibitor showcase in August with a virtual auction. More details will follow – please watch BCYF website at www.bcyf.org or BCYF Facebook page.
