Applications for grants through the Guthrie County Community Foundation (GCCF) are open.

In 2025 GCCF awarded over $215,000 to over 30 different organizations serving the residents of Guthrie County, and expects to do similarly in 2026. The Foundation shares that funding is available to 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations and government entities that are either located within Guthrie County, or that provide services to those that reside within the county, like city emergency services, programs for children and activities that improve the lives of residents.

Applications and eligibility information are available at the GCCF website. Questions can be emailed, or a member of the Board of Directors can be contacted, with a list of those individuals included in this story online. The deadline for applications for 2026 is January 31st at midnight.

Board Members: Ryan Albers, Andrew Arganbright, Ruth Blomquist, Tamara Deal, Dwight Dinkla, Joni Dvorak, Mary Ebert, Diane Flanery, Carla Hilgenberg, Kirby Klinge, Troy Miller, Jeremy Muell, Ashley Pieper, Tom Rutledge, and Stacey Simmons.
