Workshop to Focus on Grant Process
Laura Chin will present a workshop Thursday showing nonprofit groups how to apply for Neighborhood grants to further their community work. The Neighborhood program will provide several grants, using $20,000 of the district office’s community service funds and gifts of $5,000 each from Woodland Medical Center and Pavilion Insurance, Inc.
May 18 is the application deadline for the second round of endowments, which are expected to be awarded twice each fiscal year.
Thursday’s workshop will deal with application process and will answer questions about the program, which honors groups trying to beautify or improve their neighborhood. Chin established the matching grant program to encourage community volunteerism.
Groups are required to match the grant amount with contribution of volunteer labor, materials and cash.
The workshop will begin at 10 a.m. at the 3rd District Council Office, 19040 market Street. To obtain an application, call 1-800-555-3983.
