Grant Recipients Archive
Since 2004, over $117,000 in grants have helped fund important programs and projects in our community. Granting is one of the two core parts of our Foundation. The funds available for granting are a direct result of the capital investment made in previous years and from currently available flow through funds.
Tomorrow’s grant to community projects is possible by your donation.
