The Tri-County Community Foundation (TCCF) awarded the recipients of the 2022-2023 Early Childhood Education and Health grants to continue learning and growth programs in Allendale, Barnwell, and Bamberg counties.
“We know you all will do good work with this money,” said TCCF Executive Director Tim Moore who hosted the November 9 reception event at the Barnwell County Public Library.
The Foundation annually awards approximately $40,000 to early childhood education and healthcare projects in the tri-county area. This year they awarded $40,300.
Recipients of TCCF grant funding consist of schools, businesses, and organizations that continue working toward the shared goal of bettering health and learning. This funding will provide programs and services for both children and adults across all three counties.
