MENDOCINO Co., 8/13/24 — The nonprofit Community Foundation of Mendocino County recently announced its Field-of-Interest grant program, open now until September 16 at 5 p.m.
These are grants awarded to other county-based nonprofits around certain areas of interest, such as the environment or children’s needs. The range of grants awarded is $1,000-$6,500. The total amount of funds available is $315,000, so there are quite a few grants to go around.
Additionally, the Community Foundation offers help to potential grantees in submitting a successful application and navigating the foundation’s online application portal. These helpful virtual workshops are held on August 22 and 23 from noon to 1 p.m.
The fields of interest in this year’s grant cycle are arts and culture; children and youth; disaster relief, recovery, and resilience; economic development; the environment; and healthy and inclusive communities. Interested applicants should attend the workshops and submit applications by the deadline.
I’d love to see an organization apply for a grant to build a fully accessible playground.
