The Safe Haven Legacy Fund was established in 2020 to provide grant awards to eligible nonprofit organizations in Pike County to assist victims of domestic violence and sexual assault in finding and relocating to permanent (as opposed to emergency) safe housing.

Funding Criteria
Geographic preference will be given to nonprofits within the greater Pike community or to those providing programs and services to residents of the area.

Eligibility
Organizations requesting support must have a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charitable status under the Internal Revenue Code. Organizations may be fiscally-sponsored by another nonprofit organization with 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charitable status under the Internal Revenue Code. In this case, the grant application must include a letter from the organization confirming its fiscal sponsorship (please upload on the application form under Upload Required Documentation). Awarded grant dollars will be issued to the sponsoring organization.

Consideration will be given to organizations that demonstrate active board leadership, comprehensive resource development plans which include income-generating activities, resource sharing, special support from individuals, and an efficient and effective administration of funds and programs.

Greater Pike Community Foundation does not grant to:

• Individuals
• Religious programs of churches or other sectarian organizations
• Political parties, campaigns, or candidates

Application Process

Please note that previous grant recipients must have all final reporting completed in order to be eligible for future grants from Greater Pike. If you have questions about the status of your grant report or for assistance with the reporting process, contact us at grants@greaterpike.org.

Grant applications for the 2025 funding cycle will be accepted between February 10 and March 10, 2025, with awards announced in late March.
