Grant funding applications available from Everett Citizens Foundation

  Mayor Carlo DeMaria recently announced that the Everett Citizens Foundation Grant Funding Application for year three, Round II is now available. The request limit for this round of funding is set at $10,000. All applications are due by Thursday, March 31.

  “This is a great opportunity for organizations to receive additional funding,” said DeMaria. “The Everett Citizens Foundation seeks to assist organizations that have a positive impact on the residents of Everett. I encourage all organizations in the community to apply.”

  Through the City of Everett’s Host Community Agreement with Wynn Resorts – approved by voters in 2013 – the Everett Citizens Foundation was established. The Foundation, which consists of members appointed by DeMaria, the Everett City Council, State Senator Sal DiDomenico and State Representative Joseph McGonagle, is charged with supporting and promoting local groups, associations and programs with important City initiatives that provide a direct benefit to Everett residents. Funding is limited to organizations who did not receive funding in year three, Round I.

  Any nonprofit organization in the community can apply. Applications can be found online at www.CityofEverett.com – then click Business & Development and then Everett Citizens Foundation. For questions or concerns regarding the application or eligibility, please email ECFoundation@ci.everett.ma.us.
