Charitable Organizations Encouraged to Apply for Russell County Disaster Relief Fund Grants

The Russell County Area Community Foundation has established the Russell County Disaster Relief Fund to meet the emergency needs of Russell County and is accepting applications to grant immediate money to nonprofit organizations offering relief services in impacted areas following a major emergency, weather event or other disaster, like the windstorm and wildfires our region experienced in December.

Nonprofit organizations, schools, churches and other agencies that are providing direct relief help to people, property or livestock in Russell County may be eligible for grant money. Charitable organizations may apply at www.rcacf.net. For more information, contact Angela Muller, Executive Director, at 785-445-3611 or rcacf@eaglecom.net. Application deadline is February 28, 2022.

Donations to the Russell County Disaster Relief Fund will be accepted at any time, now and beyond. It is the hope that with continued donations and investment growth over time, money held in the fund will provide a permanent safety net to Russell County in the aftermath of an emergency, as well as emergency preparedness and recovery.

Donate online at www.rcacf.net or mail your donation to RCACF, PO Box 172, Russell, KS 67665 and note your gift is for the Russell County Disaster Relief Fund.
