(KNZA)--The Jackson County Community Foundation has been selected as a recipient of a Patterson Family Foundation Capacity Building Grant.

The program was created to help rural community foundations address staffing challenges.

With the receipt of the grant, Jackson County Community Foundation has the ability to hire its first executive director, a full-time salary position with benefits.

The community foundation board, in a release, said they are grateful for the support of the Patterson Family Foundation, adding the opportunity will help to move the Foundation to the next level and have a major influence within the community.

The grant will be used to hire an executive director who will focus on various areas, including fund raising and grant-making, marketing and building relationships with the funds of the foundation, as well as creating events and opportunities to connect donors and funds. The Executive Director will collaborate with local leaders to raise assets and be a philanthropic resource for non-profits. The release says that will allow the foundation to be better prepared to meet the needs of the community.

The Jackson County Community Foundation was re-established in 2019 to support programs and projects that enhance the quality of life for Jackson County residents. The Foundation is managed by a volunteer board.
