Handbags That Help is a women's giving circle focused on improving lives in Hancock County through significant grants for charitable projects and programs, aiming to increase community philanthropy. Since 2008, they have granted over $600,000 towards building strong families in the area.
The grant program from The Findlay-Hancock County Community Foundation emphasizes responsive grants aimed at addressing problems or seizing opportunities in the Greater Hancock County area. There is no specific formula for success; proposals are evaluated based on the potential community benefit, creativity, and the credibility of the applicants. The grants are primarily funded by the Community’s Endowment, alongside other donor-directed funds for specific causes or organizations.
