FLOYD COUNTY, Ind. – In March, the Floyd County Legacy Foundation (FCLF) asked for grant
requests from local nonprofits whose mission helps support Floyd County residents in Southern Indiana.
Now, FCLF is proud to announce the awarding of 10 grants to area organizations totaling $533,080.
The grant program, which is in its fourth year, awards grants to organizations that meet the needs and
priorities of Southern Indiana residents living in New Albany, Floyds Knobs, Greenville, Georgetown,
and Galena using the Priorities for Progress—Assets and Aspirations in Southern Indiana 2021 Report,
which was produced in partnership with the Community Foundation of Southern Indiana and Indiana
University Southeast Applied Research and Education Center.
This year’s grant recipients include:
Brandon’s House Counseling Center ($100,000) – Using this funding, Brandon’s House Counseling
Center will look to purchase a more viable and expanded counseling center that would remain in the
same basic area of New Albany.
Choices Life Resource Center ($94,000) – Choices Life Resource Center will use this funding for
capital improvement of the organization’s Floyd County center, as well as aid in support of the clients
served through case management and the fatherhood program.
Family Ark, Inc. ($9,121) – Family Ark, Inc. will provide hands-on toolkits, age-appropriate books,
and family support materials to clients from Floyd County. These materials will support client safety,

which provides basic needs to Veterans in Floyd County.

County 4-H will begin a project that supports a full-time licensed addiction counselor to provide

provide mental health services to victims from the Floyd County Prosecutor’s Office, as well as expand
one office space and intensive outpatient program group room for a therapist dedicated to servicing

services are provided at no-cost to clients.
