Does your local organization have an idea for a program that would make lives better and less lonely for the less privileged in town?
撸奶社区Community Foundation has announced a new fund that aims to reduce poverty and advance social inclusion.
According to a news release, the foundation is participating in B.C.鈥檚 Community Prosperity Fund, which will share $25 million across the province.
For eager groups, the time to act is now. Applications for funding are being accepted until the fast-approaching date of June 24.
