Grant Recipients

Background: 

BVS accepts grant applications from local charities and non-profits to fund items and/or programs that enhance their ability to carry out their mission (not general operations expenses or payroll). Grants are awarded to a diverse group of organizations that benefit families and children, including those trying to combat poverty, provide crisis intervention and support exceptional educational and healthcare opportunities, in addition to other community interests. 

BVS traditionally tries to support organizations based on their funding sources, their closeness to home (this means not just Bath and Richfield, but Akron too), considering the financial impact of our donation and the reputation of the organization. Grant awards generally range from $50 up to $3,000. Please note that approved BVS allocation payments are often provided only upon receipt of statements for services or products rather than in advance. You may wish to take this into account as you plan.
