A ten-thousand-dollar grant is up for grabs to area non-profit organizations. 101 Women Sandpoint, a local funding organization, is once again offering the grant as part of its bi-annual giving campaign.
Bonner County nonprofit organizations that focus on basic human needs and/or social services are encouraged to apply for the grant. The simple grant application is available online and the deadline for submission is April 15.
