According to Beiverly Ful more, college advancement co ordinator, there are “few tax dol lars allotted for innovation and new things.” For this reason, four years ago, the Foundation began offering mini-grants. Funds for the grants are raised through college and community fund rais ers, and through a few corporate grants. In total, approximately $46,000 has been awarded to fund new projects since the program’s beginning. This year’s mini-grants will provide some funding for a vari ety of new programs.
