Community Fund is accepting applications for fall grants

CAVENDISH, Vt. — The Cavendish Community Fund has announced that it is now accepting grant applications for fall 2018 awards. The deadline for applying is Oct. 1, 2018. Applications are available at www.CavendishCCCA.org under “Community Fund” and include instructions on how and where to apply.

Projects, programs or events must directly benefit the Cavendish community in some way. A panel of local citizens reviews all applications and recommends grant awards based on the quality and feasibility of each proposal. Grants are not expected to exceed $1,000 each and will depend primarily on the number of applications received and the amounts requested.

This past spring the Fund made grants to Cavendish Streetscapes to put flags along Main Street in Proctorsville, to the Cavendish Elementary School for the third grade to produce its annual play, and to the Garden Committee to clean up the Svec Memorial Green, all according to a press release.

Anyone with a project to benefit Cavendish and which needs money is asked contact the Fund to discuss the idea.

For further information on applying, on eligibility, on any other aspect of the grant program, or for help completing the application, call Peter LaBelle at (802) 226-7250 or Barbara Dickey at (802) 226-7187.
