Leadership class to distribute grant money
The Cape Coral Community Foundation is pleased to announce that the 2009 Cape Coral Chamber of Commerce Junior Leadership Class has been awarded $3000 for grant distributions to local nonprofit organizations.
The Foundation is working closely with the class to educate them on the concept of making grants to well deserving agencies that provide services to the Cape Coral community. The class has been giving the challenge of reviewing five local nonprofits who have submitted a grant application.
The class will award three $1000 grants to three agencies of their choice. Last year the community foundation awarded over $300,000 in grants and $127,000 in scholarships.
