WLCF 2019 grant applications still available Western Lane Community Foundation (WLCF) would like to remind local nonprof- it organizations that the 2019 grant cycle is still open to eli- gible applicants. Each year, WLCF awards several grants to local non- profits for projects/programs in western Lane County. Grants are awarded in the areas focused on education, medicine and science, the arts, and social and civic ser- vices. In 2018, over $73,000 was awarded to several of these worthy causes. The annual amount to be awarded is de- termined by the performance of the invested portfolio of discretionary funds during the current year. Grant re- quests for the 2019 grant cycle will be accepted until Jan. 15, 2019. The application may be downloaded at WLCF’s website and it’s highly rec- ommended that applicants review the Grant Guidelines included there. Submit applications to Western Lane Community Foundation, P.O. Box 1589, Florence, OR, 97439 or by email to wlcf@wlcfonline.org in PDF format. Completed applications must be postmarked or re- ceived no later than close of business on Jan. 15. Applications will be re- viewed by the WLCF Board of Directors and each applicant will be contacted by a board member for an interview re- garding the request for funds. Grants will be selected in February and then awarded in late March. Selected grant recipients will be required to submit a grant report by Aug. 31, 2019. Grant requests and awards will be selected based on mer- it, need and benefit to the community at large. Grant requests and award amounts vary greatly, but are usually between $100 and $5,000, de- pending on the nature of the grant project and funds avail- able for distribution.
