2024 Olney Civic Fund Grant Applications

Grant Application will be available November 1, 2024

Where does the money come from that OCF grants out?

Our District 14 delegation was able to get some state funding for Olney Civic Fund to further its mission in supporting Olney non-profits. Additional amounts depend mostly on the weather. Our model for Olney Days depends squarely on the sponsorship of local businesses and citizens. Our sponsors underwrite most of the $55,000 cost of Party in the Park, plus costs for the other events. In 2023, the weather for Party in the Park was amazing, we had record breaking attendance, record breaking sales of beer and wine, record breaking income from parking and games. But, on a rainy day, we’d be lucky to break even. That’s why our sponsors are so critical. Our sponsors sustain the event allowing Olney Civic Fund to raise money for the community.
