The Community Grant Program
The Community Grant Program was created to continue the legacy of giving from the proceeds of the SYLVA Thrift Shop. They are intended to be one-time grants of up to $5,000 for programs or projects that will impact the health and wellness services of Jackson, Swain, Macon, and Graham Counties. Grants will be awarded each year in September.
