Sarah George Trust Fund

Thanks to the generosity of the Sarah George Trust, Stetson University is happy to support the availability of grant funds to be disbursed through our established community partners in the Spring Hill neighborhood of DeLand as well as west Volusia County.

Funding should directly benefit vulnerable or marginalized populations and support project-based initiatives that enhance an organization’s programming or capacity rather than general operating expenses. Preference will go to proposals that create a lasting community impact rather than support one-time events. Funds from the Sarah George Trust have been used in the past to support music and performing arts education, museum development, healthy and sustainable living classes, organizational furnishing, and after-school programming.

Some previous recipients of funding from the Sarah George Trust include:

• The Neighborhood Center of West Volusia
• The Boys and Girls Club of Volusia/Flagler Counties
• Spring Hill Resource Center
• DeLand Chisholm Community Center
• The African American Museum of the Arts

The application usually opens in mid-fall and is due in late November. Click here for the application.
