The 2023 grant application period closed on March 15 and the grants committee has been hard at work evaluating the 37 applications that were received this year. The committee has made site visits and has evaluated each program's feasibility, the likelihood of success, and alignment with our mission. Members will soon be invited to review, approve, and comment on the committee's recommendations for the allocation of the record $270,000 in 2023 grant funds.

The awards will be presented to the 2023 grant recipients at our Annual Grant Awards Celebration on Wednesday, June 14. Check the events page of our website and watch your email for further details about our most important event of the year.

Thank you to our 2023 Grants Committee under the leadership of committee chair Mimi McLaughlin and co-chair Peg McGreevey. Other members are Paulette Shockey, Katy Warehime, Catherine Mock, Meg Menke, Kristen Rowe, Billie Homberg, Janice Deluliis, Brigitte Farrell, Kim Lenta, Jody Rice, Vicki Lee, Gabrielle Wachter, and Angela Mayer.
