The Watertown Community Foundation (WCF) announces two Spring 2022 grant programs to support local nonprofits, community-based organizations, programs, and projects. Approximately $125,000 will be distributed.
WCF’s Program Grants will support organizations that serve Watertown to develop new or continue existing programs with an educational focus (broadly defined) and do not involve Watertown’s public schools. Eligible organizations may apply for grants of $500 up to $5,000. WCF’s Institutional Support Grants are designed to help institutions central to the Watertown community by providing funds to maintain critical programming, staff, and cover operating costs. Grants under this program impose neither restrictions on the use of funds nor any program requirements. Eligible organizations may apply for grants of up to $7,500.
The application deadline for both grant programs is April 25, 2022. We encourage all interested organizations to attend an information session on April 8th at 12PM. https://bit.ly/3wTwD9K Information and online application forms for both grant programs are available on WCF’s website: www.watertownfoundation.org.
