Livingston County Community Foundation Announces Grant

The Livingston County Community Foundation has announced a grant in the amount of $8,000 to the Community Action Partnership of North Central Missouri.

The funds are to be used to purchase medical supplies for clinic visits at their Chillicothe location on Elm Street which specializes in women’s healthcare, STD testing and treatment, and other services including breast and reproductive exams and family planning education for Livingston county residents. They also provide laboratory services such as blood pressure checks, hemoglobin tests, and urinalysis, as well as limited services to men related to STD screenings and reproductive health.
​
The Livingston County Community Foundation was organized in 1998 as a recommendation of the Long Range Planning Committee of the Chillicothe Chamber of Commerce to set up a permanent endowment to grant funds to other Livingston County non-profit (501 c3) organizations to fulfill their objectives. The major areas of interest are Economic Development, Community and Rural Development, Education, Community Health and Welfare, Youth, Arts, and Humanities. Since its organization the foundation has made over 80 grants totaling more than $500,000, all benefiting non-profits in Livingston County.
