The City of Montgomery is opening a path for local not-for-profits and service-oriented entities to secure a financial boost for their community-centered projects. Announcing its Service and Engagement Grant program, the city is now welcoming applications from organizations that look to make a tangible difference in the lives of Montgomery residents. The grant offers up to $2,500 for each selected application.
Entities such as the Montgomery Farmers’ Market, You to the Rescue, Operation Give Back, and Sycamore Junior High have previously benefited from this initiative. The program is tailored for organizations with a knack for innovative ideas that foster community spirit and bring the populace of Montgomery together. The deadline for applications is approaching, with the cut-off set for March 1 at midnight. This information was detailed in a release from the City of Montgomery's official website.
Organizations looking to throw their hat into the ring for some municipal backing should focus on drafting a proposal that encapsulates their vision for a more engaged community. Past recipients of the grant have showcased the potential of these funds to catalyze significant, positive change on a local level.
Those interested in the Service and Engagement Grant can reach out for more details to Matthew Vanderhorst, Montgomery's Community and Information Services Director. Vanderhorst is available via email or can be contacted over the phone at 513-792-8323 to guide applicants through the submission process and offer clarity on qualifying criteria.
