Wayne Metro Awarding Grants to Local Organizations

COMMUNITY FUNDING INITIATIVE SUPPORTS LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS, COMMUNITIES

Wayne Metropolitan Community Action Agency is working to support local nonprofit organizations with financial assistance during these tough economic times.

Wayne Metro's Community Funding Initiative Program provides small grants to non-profits, community organizations and churches located in Out-Wayne County to help them fulfill their mission by providing better services to their clients.

Wayne Metro has five Regional Advisory Councils (RACs) that represent the 42 communities comprising Out-Wayne County. RACs consist of community representatives from churches and schools, business leaders, non-profit leaders and local volunteers. These councils work to eliminate problems in their community through outreach. RAC members review applications, conduct site visits and make funding decisions on Community Funding Initiative applications once a year.

"The Community Funding Initiative Program is Wayne Metro's way of supporting the work of our partners in the community. Together, we can make a difference" said Louis Piszker, Wayne Metro CEO. "We are proud to provide financial assistance to other organizations dedicated to serving residents of Wayne County."

DEADLINE EXTENDED! All applications must be received by 5:00 pm on Monday, February 6, 2012.
