The Geauga County Sunshine Shop Board is now accepting grant requests from Geauga County not-for-profit organizations who serve individuals and families in crisis or in need.
A seven member board governs The Sunshine Shop which has been in operation for over 30 years. The mission of The Sunshine Shop is to provide assistance to low income individuals and families residing in Geauga County. Funds are raised through The Sunshine Thrift Shop located at the Geauga County Fairgrounds. The Sunshine Shop sells donated clothing and household items.
Grant requests should be a single page and include your organization’s contact information, purpose or mission, whom you serve, what the grant money would be used for, and how much you are requesting. Previous grant awards ranged from $500 to $1,500.
Requests should be mailed to: The Sunshine Shop Board, P.O Box 917, Burton, OH, 44021. The deadline has been extended. Requests must be postmarked by October 8, 2014.
