Rising Together Grants: Inspiring Places
The Rising Together Grants are the signature grantmaking program of the “Let’s Rise!” Vision Plan. These general operating grants of up to $50,000 align with the vision plan’s five pillars and are funded through the Paul Clarke Endowment and the Community Impact Fund. The Inspiring Places pillar is focused on providing resources and support to create a community filled with spaces that engage, connect, and energize residents and visitors. Examples of groups that fit this are arts, environment, and community development. Thirteen organizations received grants totaling $120,750.
