For the sixth-straight year, the Town of Fort Frances will be receiving money from the Moffat Family Fund to hand out to local groups and service clubs with the aim of helping youths and families.
The Town of Fort Frances once again has been selected to receive $50,000 in funds to be redistributed to local worthwhile causes, with individuals and organizations now being encouraged to start submitting requests for a portion of that funding along with a supporting rationale.
Information packages are available at the Civic Centre or by calling 274-5323. Applications have to be submitted by Friday, Feb. 29 at 2 p.m.
As in previous years, non-profit organizations are welcome to apply but must keep in mind that funding proposals must benefit children, families, and the “less advantaged.”
Organizations from outside Fort Frances, whose activities do not have a direct benefit to town residents, will not be considered.
Applications should be limited to two-five pages, and include the respective organizations’ charitable numbers.
As mentioned above, the deadline for applications is Feb. 29, after which time the local Moffat Fund committee will choose recipients and forward those selections on to the Winnipeg Foundation for approval this spring.
Those recipients then likely will receive their share of the $50,000 in late spring or early summer.
Last July, nine successful applicants got a portion of the town’s $50,000 allotment of the Moffat Family Fund.
