Welcome to the Community Foundation
of Hernando County

Challenge Grant
Application



The Community Foundation of Hernando County is the newest division of the Community Foundation of Tampa Bay, having been formed in December 2006.

A skilled, enthusiastic group of local leaders took the initiative with the vision of building a better community for all of Hernando County, from Hernando Beach to the Withlacoochee River.

Through the work of its volunteer Council and grants committee, this division is working for the betterment of all Hernando County residents, changing lives now and leaving a legacy for the grandchildren to come. The Foundation welcomes donors who wish to consolidate their philanthropy or who need a place to make their charitable contribution while deciding which causes to support.

You are invited to join this group of dedicated and dynamic citizens. Make a difference during these times of exciting growth and diverse needs.



Challenge Grant for Local Nonprofits
The Community Foundation of Hernando County is pleased to announce the creation of a new challenge grant program open to all qualifying nonprofits in the county interested in establishing an endowment fund at the Foundation.

Through the civic concern and generosity of two local Hernando County residents,
Mary and Bob Sierra and their Sierra Foundation, a matching grant program is being established. This very generous 2:1 match means that for every $1000 raised by a qualifying nonprofit, the Sierras’ challenge grant will match it with $500.

Click on the Application link for more details on the new challenge grant program.
