Ky. Colonels seeking grant application from Ky. non-profits for $2 million in 2019 awards

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The Honorable Order of Kentucky Colonels (HOKC) is calling for established non-profit charities to apply for a 2019 grant from the Good Works Program until February 15th.

501(c)(3) non-profit organizations that have been in existence for 5 years and who help the citizens of Kentucky are eligible to apply. Grant application guidelines and other criteria are posted on www.kycolonels.org.

Through donations from Kentucky Colonels around the world, in 2018, HOKC awarded grants totaling $2-million to support 233 charities assisting the neediest of the Commonwealth.

“We are proud that donations range from $1 to major gifts supporting our focus on aiding the abused to the handicapped to crisis relief to historic preservation,” says HOKC Executive Director Sherry Crose.

To date, HOKC grants have touched more than 7,000 other non-profit organizations.
