The City of Litchfield Park is on the lookout for non-profit organizations that are making a difference. The local government is offering a financial leg up to such groups, as long as their work is benefiting the residents of this quaint Arizona city. Time's ticking though, applications have to hit the City Hall's desk or inbox by April 5.

An announcement on the city's official website says they're all set to entertain proposals from these non-profits. Interested parties can snag an application packet straight from the horse's mouth, at the City Hall during business hours, which are 8am to 5pm for those planning a visit. Or for those averse to paper cuts or Arizona's midday sun, digital downloads are up for grabs on the city's website. Mark this down, it's right here.

However, there's a non-negotiable line in the sand – or should we say a deadline in the desert? All the paperwork has to be done and dusted, arriving no later than 5pm on the dot, on April 5, 2024. Latecomers might as well not bother, because their applications will be as welcome as a rattlesnake at a picnic.

If the idea of sending your precious proposal through the ether makes you antsy, you can contact the City's Community & Recreation Services Director, Tricia Kramer, at 623-935-9040, or zap an email her way at [email protected] for a bit of electronic hand-holding. It's not every day, funds are up for grabs without strings attached – so if your organization fits the bill, grab the bull by the horns and apply.
