A 2024 Youth Needs grant supported Raven Hill Discovery Center's Here Or There (HOT) Project. HOT offered each participant - whether a school, grade-level team, or teacher - a choice of a science, history or art topic to be presented in the classroom or during a visit to Raven Hill.

In 2024, a C3F Geographic Enrichment grant for East Jordan helped Training Wheels Childcare Center purchase new playground equipment.
