Special to The Advocate

Mayor Carlo DeMaria was pleased to announce that the Everett Citizens Foundation (ECF) grant application for Year 6, Round 1 is now available. The request limit for this round of funding is set at $10,000. All applications are due by Monday, Sept. 30, 2024.

Through Mayor DeMaria’s Host Community Agreement with Wynn Resorts – approved by voters in 2013 – the Everett Citizens Foundation was established. ECF, which consists of members appointed by Mayor DeMaria, the Everett City Council, State Senator Sal DiDomenico and State Representative Joe McGonagle, is charged with supporting and promoting local groups, associations and programs with important City of Everett initiatives that provide a direct benefit to Everett residents. To date, ECF has distributed over $1 million in grants to local organizations that provide a myriad of services to Everett residents.

“This has been and continues to be a great opportunity for organizations to receive additional funding,” said Mayor DeMaria. “The Everett Citizens Foundation seeks to assist organizations that positively impact the residents of Everett, and I encourage all organizations in the community to apply.”

Any organization in the community may apply. Applications can be found online by visiting cityofeverett.com/our-city/#EverettCitizensFoundation. For questions or concerns regarding the application or eligibility, please email ECFoundation@ci.everett.ma.us.
