The Recompense Fund Board is anticipating a very productive grantmaking meeting this July 6 th . We moved our deadline back to May 31 st from September 1 st because Chebeague nonprofits told us they preferred to prepare their proposals before the rush of summer activity. The batch of 2016 proposals is now in the hands of our board for review. Our board will make its grant decisions at the end of the July 6 th meeting. We aim to have grant monies in the hands of grantees by month’s end, much earlier than in past years. We expect to award grants that at least double last year’s total. This will set an all-time high for our philanthropy. Our July 6 th meeting is open to the public and will be held at the Niblic at 5:30 p.m. Refreshments will be served. All nonprofits applying for grants will have the opportunity to present their applications and field questions from the board.

Please join us to hear our remarkable Chebeague nonprofits present their ideas.
