IMPACT! Grant Program
The Franklin County Commissioners have sponsored funds to be used for the IMPACT! Grant Program, which provides $10 million for projects to assist municipalities, municipal authorities and non-profit organizations that are located and operating within Franklin County.
Proposed projects must meet one of the following goals:
- Provide general governmental services that were impeded, delayed or otherwise affected by the COVID-19 pandemic;
- Revitalize Franklin County communities negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic; or
- Support key infrastructure projects such as water, sewer, stormwater and broadband.
Grant requests should be for a minimum of $25,000 and for no more than $500,000. Municipalities and authorities must contribute a 50% match for their proposed projects; there is no match requirement for nonprofit organizations. Grants must be used for costs incurred on or after March 3, 2021, and must be expended by Dec. 31, 2026. Grant recipients must be under contract with the county by Dec. 31, 2024.

All applications must be submitted online before 4:30 p.m. on Aug. 31.
