Community Needs Grants Deadline August 1st
July 21, 2009
The Community Foundation of the
Eastern Shore is seeking applications from nonprofit organizations for its next grant cycle for up to $55,000 in grants from its Lower Shore Fund for Community Needs.
These grants are awarded to nonprofits to benefit residents of Somerset, Wicomico and Worcester Counties by providing financial support to charitable activities and to provide leadership in five key areas: arts and culture, health and human services, education, historical preservation, and the environment.
The Foundation also provides community leadership through local initiatives, charitable partnerships and nonprofit support programs. Several grants are expected to be awarded, with individual grant amounts likely to range from $500 to $7,500.
The deadline for submission of applications for the next grant cycle is August 1, 2009, with grants to be awarded in October. The deadline for a second cycle of Community Needs Grants during the next year is February 1, 2010. Copies of grant guidelines and application forms are available upon request by calling 410-742-9911 or by visiting the Community Foundation’s website at www.cfes.org.
