Legacy Grants
Legacy grants are for specific programs and by invitation-only. Each year, the Trawick Foundation invites Montgomery County nonprofits in the arts or those providing health and human services to the underserved in Montgomery County, to submit a grant application.
Nonprofit organizations that are invited to submit a grant are those that have demonstrated successful outcomes in particular areas of need that are of interest to the Foundation.
