  Mayor Carlo DeMaria is pleased to announce that the Everett Citizens Foundation Grant Funding Application for year four, round one is now available. The request limit for this round of funding is set at $10,000. All applications are due Friday, September 23.

  “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 have a positive impact on the residents of Everett. I encourage all organizations in the community to apply.”
