Doylestown, PA (June 25, 2026) – At the conclusion of its fiscal year, Foundations Community Partnership’s (FCP) Board of Directors awarded $252,400 in grants to 37 non-profit organizations, including 20 Bucks Innovation and Improvement Grants (BIIG), 15 Capital Improvement Grants, one Target Funding-Rapid Response Grant, and one Emergency Action Grant. Collectively, these organizations will help address the behavioral health and human service needs of 57,122 Bucks County residents.

 

The BIIG cycle recognizes innovative programs and ideas to improve the lives of children, young adults, and families in Bucks County, while Capital Improvement Grants support structural improvements to facilities, renovations, durable equipment, and technology upgrades. The Target Funding-Rapid Response Grant cycle aims to mitigate the effects of sudden loss of government grants/funding, and the emergency cycle addresses non-reimbursable catastrophic events impacting direct delivery of services.

 

“Since 2007, we awarded more than $9.4 million to nonprofits serving Bucks County, and the Board is thrilled to continue the tradition of support and partnering with all of the grant recipients in support of their mission,” said Falesha Grasty, Chair, FCP Board of Directors. “Reflecting on the uncertainty nonprofits face right now, the number of applications we received during each grant cycle this year continues to increase,” she added.
