Neighbors and Friends of Table Rock Lake (NFTRL) invites Stone and Taney County charities with active 501(c)(3) status or under the umbrella of an active 501(c)(3) to apply for project grants focused on meeting community needs. Grants of up to $5,000 will be awarded in spring 2026 following Service Committee and organizational membership approval. Applications for requesting funds became available on May 1, 2025, and fully completed applications must be received by Friday, August 1, 2025. Criteria for online applications appear at the organization’s website: www.nftrl.org. Applicants should closely follow criteria for consideration by reviewing groups.

NFTRL includes in its mission the statement “to undertake and promote charitable and humanitarian projects within the community.” Since 2022, the organization has given away over $600,000 to local charities and last year delivered $80,000 to 23 local non-for-profit organizations. NFTRL expresses community support for its fundraisers that include various fundraising events, including an annual December Home Tour, Fall Twilight Auction, a recent upscale garage sale, concerts held at a member’s home, and sponsorship by multiple local businesses. Those multiple sources of support fund annual grants to meet the NFTRL mission.
