Skaggs Foundation, a Stone and Taney County, nonprofit 501 (c)(3) organization, has granted Faith Community Health nearly $350,000 in support of its transition to Hope Counseling Center. This is the largest grant awarded through the Skaggs Legacy Endowment Fund to date. This unique grant opportunity was made possible through the newly established Request for Proposal (RFP) Grant program, where an organization(s) is invited to apply for a grant identifying a need in our community, outside of the Skaggs Legacy Endowment Grant cycle.
"Skaggs Foundation has long recognized the need for mental health services for our community and support the clinic's endeavors," said Meghan Connell, President of Skaggs Foundation. "We are most excited that the use of these funds will allow Hope Counseling Center to hire more counselors as well as provide graduate students with the necessary clinical hours to become licensed mental health care providers."
Since 2015, Skaggs Foundation has awarded over $1.1 million to organizations specifically targeting mental health initiatives.
