Visions to Ventures: Empowering Communities

The "Visions to Ventures" Project Grants are designed to provide financial support to FACT members for a variety of activities in the areas of community and small business projects. Examples include community or neighborhood revitalization, partnerships between businesses and schools, consumer education services, support for small businesses providing essential community services, and projects to create or improve community or school recreation facilities. Awards range from $100 to $5,000.

Joining FACT does not guarantee that any scholarship, grant or aid application will result in an award. All submissions do receive equal consideration by an independent Review Committee, with actual awards based upon the Committee's discretion and fund availability.

Testimonials

I would like to express my gratitude to those who considered and approved my grant application. I am now able to move forward with my Eagle Scout project. I was very excited when I received your letter in the mail, and overjoyed, as you were the first source of funding I received. The money will aid me greatly, as this will cover over half of my project cost.

I did not want another day to pass without writing to express deep appreciation for the $1,000 grant that FACT awarded to St. Leonard. It was certainly a thrill to receive the news and take a giant step toward the realization of our goal — the purchase of a Sit2Stand Trainer. The mission of FACT to make contributions to the wellbeing of communities such as ours is an inspiration. We hope to honor the generosity by paying it forward.

Thank you for your contribution towards our annual campaign drive. This campaign gives our members the ability to support the needs of Shelby County Children. Our impact in the community continues and we just started our 83rd year. Nearly 300 children will be helped this year alone. Your donation brings us another step closer to filling those needs. Thank you for your support.

Thank you for your grant for our swimming lessons opportunity. We will offer lessons for levels 1–3 of the American Red Cross program. We will be able to have a teacher for each level. Our community has a lot of lakes and rivers so this will be a very important part of our students' education.
