WCCF Opportunity Fund Deadline Approaching

The deadline for applying for the current round of grants from the Washington County Community Foundation’s Opportunity Fund is rapidly approaching.

The Foundation will accept applications until next Thursday, March 28, 2013, for up to $3,032 in grants for charitable causes. The Foundation will consider applications from non-profit organizations, individuals, and groups of individuals. For-profit organizations will not be considered unless the request is for a charitable project. Grants will be limited to projects within Washington County.

Applications are available at your local post office, or online at www.washingtoncountycf.org .
