Stealey Community Fund to Accept Grant Applications

POSTED ON

The Stealey Community Fund application period will be open from March 6 to April 20.

The fund has been making grant awards in the Middlebourne area for more than 20 years, allocating more than $2 million in support of local projects since its inception.  The Stealey Community Fund is administered by
the Community Foundation for the Ohio Valley Inc., with the advice of the Stealey Community Fund Advisory Board.

Applications for the Stealey Community Fund will be submitted through the Foundation’s online grant portal.  Interested applicants should visit www.cfov.org/grants for more information and application access.

The deadline to submit the online application is April 20.

Created by Ruth Stealey Green, a retired teacher who died at the age of 84 on February 14, 1996 at her home in Middlebourne, the fund honors Green and her brother, Philip Stealey, who died in 1993.  The Stealey family had a long history in the development of the town of Middlebourne and its activities. Interest accrued from the endowment is awarded annually to qualified and approved applicants.  It was Green’s desire that when grant awards are made, special consideration be given to programs and projects that will improve the quality of life of the residents of Middlebourne, such as improved library, recreational, municipal and youth services.

Green stipulated that Rohrig serve on the Stealey Community Advisory Board, along with the superintendent of Tyler County Schools, the mayor of Middlebourne, and the president of the Tyler County Public Library. Eligibility for grant funds requires the applying organization to be qualified as exempt from federal income tax under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a similarly exempt government entity.  Organizations not recognized by the IRS as exempt may have their grant application presented and sponsored by an exempt organization that will be responsible for receiving and administering the grant funds.
