Grant: What Do You Do With an Idea?
The Cole McDonald Impact Project is an application-based grant available to individuals of all ages for workforce-related pursuits. It is designed to support ideas and efforts with the potential to create a positive and lasting impact on a recipient’s family or community. The theme, “What Do You Do With an Idea?”, highlights opportunities for innovation and vision to grow with the help of funding assistance. Grants may support inventions, business endeavors, patents, outstanding ideas, or USPTO application fees that could benefit from financial support to bring a vision to life. Applications may be submitted directly by individuals or through recommendations from others, and recipients are selected based on their ability to create a meaningful and lasting impact.

The grant is made possible through proceeds from the annual Run on the River event, held the last Saturday in July at The Meadow Campground & Coffee House, and through the dedication of its volunteers and participants.
