(Ohio County, Ind.) - The Ohio County Community Foundation has awarded Ohio County 911 the 2025 Annual Celebration Grant in the amount of $10,027.

The funds were awarded to help with their server replacement project.

The Ohio County Community Foundation was established in 1998 and this year marks the 27th year of the Foundation’s existence. To celebrate, $10,027 in unrestricted funds from the Rising Sun Regional Foundation for Ohio County Endowment Fund was set aside for this grant opportunity.

The Annual OCCF Celebration Grant Program is a competitive grant program. Grant request funds must be used for projects or programs outside of the organization’s normal funding capabilities and must benefit the residents of Ohio County.

The awarded grant will allow Ohio County 911 to purchase a new server to ensure reliable, secure emergency communications and enable the implementation of Smart 911, a critical public safety tool that allows residents to share life-saving information with dispatchers.

For more information concerning the Ohio County Community Foundation grants program, please call the Foundation office at 812-438-9401 or email, Tracy Stegemiller, Program Coordinator at tstegemiller@occfrisingsun.com.
