Greater Mercer Grants Spring 2010 Update
The Princeton Area Community Foundation’s Spring 2010 Greater Mercer Grants cycle has received 60 proposals from local nonprofits (listed below) requesting a total of $1.2 million. The Community Foundation will grant approximately $450,000 in this cycle, to provide support in the following three categories:
- program or project support for work that can make a real and sustainable difference in the lives of low-income people
- operating support for organizations that work primarily with low-income people
- work to build the social capital of the region (trust and relationships that can solve big problems and take advantage of opportunities to make our communities stronger).
Proposals are currently under review by our Director of Grants and Programs, Michelle Cash. The Grants Committee will meet twice in May and June to consider staff recommendations. Final decisions will be made in early July and posted on the Community Foundation’s website after we communicate directly with each nonprofit applicant.
Funding for this program is made possible from the following Community Foundation Funds:
- Tristan Beplat Fund
