The Southborough Community Fund asked me to help them get the word out. They are accepting grant proposals from organizations that serve our community.
Proposals should be submitted by non-profit organizations or town departments. Grants as large as $20,000 will be considered for projects of “exceptional merit”. But they are mainly seeking proposals for $1,000 – $10,000.
Proposals are sought for Southborough projects in the following categories:
- Family and Human Services/Support – programs that assist families, youth, and seniors; help underserved populations; and create pathways to overall quality of life
- Arts & Culture – organizations that contribute to the cultural vitality of the community, promote the visual & performing arts, and work to preserve the historic character of Southborough
- Environment – programs that preserve the natural resources of the town and promote environmental awareness and engagement
SCF is a Town Fund of the Foundation for MetroWest:
They support programs that increase volunteerism and community involvement, strengthen civic engagement, and emphasize collaboration that enhances community initiatives
The deadline to apply is Monday, September 15, 2014. For more information or an application, click here.
