The pre-application deadline for Warren County organizations to submit proposals to the Golden LEAF Community-Based Grants Initiative has been reopened and extended through July 21, 2025.
The Golden LEAF Community-Based Grants Initiative offers significant funding to support projects that strengthen rural communities through the organization’s stated priorities of job creation and economic investment, agriculture, and workforce preparedness.
“We want to give our community the time and space they need to put together strong proposals,” said County Manager, Crystal Smith. “This work is vital, and we are committed to helping our local providers access resources that can bring transformational projects to life.”
Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations (501(c)(3)) or governmental entities such as county and municipal governments, as well as institutes of higher learning. The new deadline to submit an application to the County Manager’s office at 602 W Ridgeway St in Warrenton is 5 p.m. on Monday, July 21, 2025. Applications will be reviewed in early August, with top proposals forwarded to Golden LEAF for final consideration.
