Updates
  • District Grant change: Jacky shared that proposals must now be in by June 1st but rough draft needs to be in by March 10th.  Grants are now not limited to 1/year and no longer limited to $1,500.  Criteria will be changing slightly with the biggest change is that grants are no longer sent on a rolling basis but at the same time - decisions based on best use of funds.  Examples from the past include videos for Healing Garden, Nature Connection & Cultivate Care build.  Please share ideas with Jacky as soon as possible (ideas submitted so far include RFK School and Habitat For Humanity).
