The Giving Grant: Hunger, Education, and Wellbeing
Recognizing how taxing the holidays can be on communities, we have made it our mission to give back, and this time we are including you in this decision. We want to help relieve this stress for people in your community. For this grant, the winner must use all of their funds to give back to their community through hands-on direct aid projects. Here are some examples of hands-on projects: - Hand-made up-cycled ornaments / holiday decorations for families - The donation of livestock to families. - Handing out toys to less fortunate children. Since this grant is focused on the applicant giving, we are not going to be as strict in regard to completion of project requirements, however we want to make sure that the winners of these grants are going to be honest and use their funds in a genuine and generous way. There will be 15 grant winners who will receive $200 each, all of the grant applicants who have real projects with real plans will be put into a raffle where all of the winners will be selected randomly. The deadline to apply for this grant will be December 17th, we will select winners on December 20th.
