David J. Nutt Fund Legacy Grant Recipients

The David J. Nutt Fund was established with the goal of giving back to the Lindsborg community by providing essential resources to help local organizations thrive. Each year, the McPherson County Community Foundation (MCCF) and the David J. Nutt Fund committee invite applications for the Legacy grant cycle. This cycle offers organizations the opportunity to receive transformative grants that can have a significant impact on both the community and the recipients. Through this application, organizations can submit detailed proposals for capital campaigns, programs, or projects that require substantial funding to bring them to fruition.
