Grant Application 2023

January 16, 2023

First on behalf of Lake Toxaway Charities, we would like to thank you for your valuable work in our community; our grant committee is looking forward to learning your organization’s 2023 plans for Transylvania County and how Lake Toxaway Charities may assist your organization’s efforts for our beloved community. We are accepting grant funding applications online or you may apply via paper application and postal mail. Instructions for both are available in our guidance section below. Your application is due no later than March 1, 2023.

If you decide to apply for Lake Toxaway Charities funding, we want you to know there may be a site visit to your agency in the spring to help our committee better understand the needs of your organization. In addition, it is important to note, each agency request stands on its own merit; there are no automatic funding/guarantees for continued funding. Decisions on funding recommendations will be made in late May, 2023. If you have any questions, please email Frank Stark at frankrstark@gmail.com.

Lake Toxaway Charities is focused on offering assistance to the Hungry, the Homeless, those in need of Healthcare, the Abused, and to Education systems and programs.

Thank you again for all you do for those who need it most in our area.

Sincerely,

Frank Stark, Lake Toxaway Charities Grant Committee Chair
