Rural cooperative development initiative grants

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service and Rural Housing Service awarded a $250,000 Project Grant under the Community Facilities Loans and Grants program (CFDA 10.766) to the Great Lakes Community Action Partnership (GLCAP), a non-profit organization based in Fremont, Ohio. This federal grant supports GLCAP's efforts to construct, enlarge, extend, or otherwise improve community facilities providing essential services to rural residents in Ohio. The grant will enable GLCAP to implement a range of rural cooperative development initiatives, such as projects focused on public safety, healthcare, education, and utility infrastructure. As both a prime recipient and sub-grantee, GLCAP collaborates with state agencies, local governments, and other non-profits to deliver these community development programs, leveraging its expertise in managing complex federal grant-funded projects. The grant was awarded on September 21, 2023, with a completion date of September 21, 2023.
