Deadline: 14-Oct-22
The Richmond Community Foundation (RCF) has launched the applications for Community Grants to support projects that will have a broad community impact.
Focus Areas
-
They’re looking for projects that will benefit all of Richmond, and a lot of people. But while a project’s impact should be broad, its focus can be very specific. For example:
- Children & Youth
- Seniors
- New Immigrants
- Low-Income Families
- People with a Disability
-
And of course, they support initiatives in a wide range of fields, including:
- Arts and Culture
- Healthcare
- Environment
- Food Security
- Sports and Recreation
- Social Services
Even if your initiative will directly benefit only a segment of the community, tell us about the ripple effect. The waves might well reach all corners of Richmond!
