Peterborough Foundation Grant Application Deadline For Local Charities Is This Friday
/The deadline for local charities to apply for the next round of Peterborough Foundation grants is this Friday.
The Peterborough Foundation was incorporated in 1953 from the estate of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Magie. The Foundation has distributed over $2,000,000 from an original capital base of just under $1,000,000.
According to Shirl Delarue, Peterborough Foundation Chair, charities, large and small, are welcome to submit a grant application for capital projects.
“It’s very user-friendly to apply for a grant from the Peterborough Foundation,” said Delarue. “We like to keep it simple for organizations, especially smaller grassroots charities.”
