Community grant deadline approaches; residents can get sales tax rebate
Deadline approaching for community grant applications
The deadline for Snowmass Village’s community grant application is just 10 days away on Jan. 14 at 5 p.m. The annual grant program distributes $125,000 in funding to a number of local nonprofits.
“Local organizations that provide health, mental health, social services, and/or enrich the quality of life for Snowmass Village residents are encouraged to reply,” according to the monthly “Town Lowdown” newsletter distributed by the town on Dec. 31.
The town’s Citizen Grant Review Board will review applications through February and Town Council will approve or deny allocations in late February or early March; funds will be distributed in the spring, according to a timeline posted on the town’s website.
For more information on selection criteria and a link to the application, visit TOSV.com/106/Citizens-Grant-Review-Board.
