The Gorge Community Foundation Community Grants Program will have $17,500 to donate to Gorge non-profits through a competitive application process that will close on May 19.  For nearly two decades, the Gorge Community Foundation has made grants through its donor advised funds and grantmaking programs.  Foundation officials say the purpose of the program is to provide charitable funds as the Foundation board determines are most needed and not limited to a single focus or exclusively to the interests of a particular constituency.  The total available for 2023 granting through GCF Community Grants is $17,500 and proposals will be accepted for any amount up to that total.  Applications are due May 19 and funding decisions and grants awarded the end of June.  The range of grants in the past has been $650 to $4,000.  Grant recipients are expected to comply with reporting requirements in order to be eligible for any future grants.
