"ServeOhio Funds 19 Statewide Service Projects Taking Place in celebration of MLK Day
These grants support more than 1,300 volunteers engaging in local community service projects across fifteen Ohio cities
ServeOhio, the Governor-appointed commission on service and volunteerism, announces grant awards to support 19 local Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service projects throughout January totaling more than $25,000. Much like Dr. King’s legacy, these grants will help nonprofits across the state improve their communities through service and volunteer activities. The grants will fund service projects in fifteen Ohio cities led by more than 1,300 volunteers.
Each project commits to bringing volunteers together to create or improve community assets or infrastructure and supports local community engagement and impact. Additionally, every project includes an education component based on Dr. King’s message of peace, unity, and service to create long-term, sustainable change.
ServeOhio awards these grants with support from the American Electric Power Foundation. Each grant totals between $250 - $1,500."
