COMMUNITY GRANTS & SCHOLARSHIPS

Supporting our community special projects that advance the vision of Keystone.

The KCA has been granting wishes for the past two years in an innovative approach to meeting community needs. Last year the grant project funded seven projects and in 2021-2023 six organizations applied and were funded.  Each KCA grant is awarded for up to $500.00. The KCA board will review all submissions, present it to membership for vote,  and award them based on merit and alignment with the mission of the KCA:

"To promote, support and protect the rural lifestyle of Keystone by strengthening the community’s social, philanthropic, business and various civic organizations through education, fellowship, activity and special events. To serve as the face and voice of our community to elected officials and associated agencies and to foster unity through community vision."

Keystone strives for sustainability through a balance of historical and emerging lifestyles, agricultural base, and natural resources. Preserving the rural aspect of Keystone is our priority.

If you or your organization has a worthy community project that benefits Keystone residents or inhabitants, please consider completing an application for your project.  Please complete the Grant application below as it will email direct to our BOD for review or you may print your application and mail to our address below:    

Projects can be conducted by a group or an individual. Applications should be submitted by August 30 either electronically via the form below, or via US Postal Services to Keystone Civic Association, P.O. Box 95, Odessa, Florida 33556.
