Funding Available for Russian River Community Projects

[Philip Tymon]

FUNDING AVAILABLE FOR RUSSIAN RIVER COMMUNITY PROJECTS:

GRANT APPLICATIONS DUE APRIL 17

The Russian River Community Trust Fund of Community Foundation Sonoma County is accepting applications from non-profit organizations for projects serving communities along the western end of the Russian River. This includes all Russian River communities from Forestville west to the ocean (Forestville, Rio Nido, Guerneville, Monte Rio, Rio Vista, Duncan's Mills, Jenner).

The Trust primarily awards grants for capital projects, equipment purchases or projects of a one-time nature. Grant requests may be for up to a maximum of $5,000, but the Trust has very limited funds to distribute at this time and, given the anticipated volume of requests, most grants will likely be in the $1,000-$2,000 range.

Grant applications are due by April 17, 2014.
