Centre Inspires
Inspiring Centre County

From 2014 to 2019, the Centre Inspires program funded transformative projects designed to create change on a county-wide scale through community engagement.

Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, this program was retired, and its funding was reallocated to provide additional support to the nonprofit organizations that participate in Centre Gives. We expect to launch a new community impact grant program in 2024 that aligns with our values and strategic vision for Centre County following a strategic planning process.

How Centre Inspires Worked

Through an annual competitive application process, Centre Foundation provided $100,000 grants to six innovative projects that aimed to transform an aspect of life in Centre County. Collaborations between nonprofit organizations and other entities that foster community engagement were encouraged. Read below to learn more about the six inspirational projects that were funded.
