Mission Community Foundation Awards Nearly $100,000 to Local Organizations in 2025 Grant Cycle 1

The Mission Community Foundation is pleased to announce the distribution of $99,935 in grant funding to 21 local community groups as part of its 2025 Grant Cycle 1. These grants support community-based initiatives that reflect the Foundation’s ongoing mission to improve the quality of life in Mission and the surrounding areas.

Each year, the Foundation holds two grant cycles, one in the spring and one in the fall, providing funding opportunities that help make a difference in areas such as food security, literacy, athletics, education, health, arts and culture, social services, and many more.

“We are proud to support these 21 organizations, each of which plays a vital role in addressing local needs and strengthening our community,” said Shelley Carter, Chair of the MCF Board. “This funding reflects the generosity of our donors, and we are deeply grateful for the individuals, families, and businesses who continue to invest in Mission’s future through the Foundation.”

The next grant cycle (Grant Cycle 2) will take place in Fall 2025, and the Foundation encourages eligible community groups to apply for funding to support their initiatives.

The Foundation’s grant program is made possible through the stewardship of endowment funds and the ongoing support of donors who believe in building a stronger, more connected Mission.
