W&L Community Grant Proposals Due Nov. 8
Washington and Lee University’s Community Grants Committee would like to remind the community of its Fall 2013 proposal evaluation schedule. Community Grants Proposals may be submitted at any time but are reviewed semiannually: at the end of the calendar year and at the end of the fiscal year. The deadline for submitting a proposal for the Fall 2013 evaluation is 4:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 8, 2013.
Established in the spring of 2008, the purpose of the program is to support non-profit organizations in the Lexington/Rockbridge community. The program began its first full year on July 1, 2008, coinciding with the start of the University’s fiscal year. The University will award a total of $50,000 during the program’s 2013-14 cycle.
During the second round of the 2012-13 evaluations held in June, 2013, 16 organizations submitted proposals for a total of more than $80,500 in requests. The University made $23,330 in grants to 8 of those organizations. Those organizations were:
- Blue Ridge Autism and Achievement Center
