JLWOS COMMUNITY GRANTS PROGRAM ANNOUNCED

Over the past nine years, JLWOS has distributed more than $400,000 in community grants to area non-profits. These grants are awarded to Sound Shore organizations that support the needs of women and children in our service area (New Rochelle, Larchmont, Mamaroneck, Harrison, Rye, Rye Brook, and Port Chester). With these grants, JLWOS is able to expand its reach beyond the League’s own community projects. The amount of individual grants awarded ranges from $100 to $10,000 with an average grant size of approximately $2,000. Grants are ultimately awarded based on merit, need and the availability of funds. The 2010 JLWOS Community Grants Application is available at www.jlwos.org Please note: applications must be submitted by February 26, 2010.
