AAWGT NEWSAAWGT Announces 2020 Grants
May 16, 2020 The Grant Applications that will be funded by our 2020 Annual Grant Fund were decided by the AAWGT Membership on May 13. This year, because of the Coronavirus Pandemic social restrictions, all voting was online only. Though an unfamiliar process for some of our members, over one-half voted, more than ever before. This was a year of big accomplishments for AAWGT and the Grant Fund. A record amount of money was raised for grant distribution, thanks to our generous members and the special Grant Fund Challenge. We also had 48 grant applications which was more than ever before, partly because of how widely the Call for Applications was distributed. And, it goes without saying, the amount of time every member of the Grants Committee (GC) put in to review and evaluate all the submitted grant applications was extensive. All this hard work culminated in 17 applications approved for the ballot. New this year is the Fundamental Needs Grant. This grant has a maximum of $10,000, and the organization making the grant proposal must be headquartered in Anne Arundel County and have revenue of no more than $100,000. The program/project being proposed must address the areas of food insecurity, parenting support and/or the needs of children from birth to five years. This being the first year for this grant, the Grants Committee was pleased with the quality of grants that made the ballot. | UPCOMING EVENTSNote that these events may not be held due to the coronavirus.

In lieu of our regular May meeting, members are voting online for this year’s grant recipients. AAWGT will announce this year’s grantees when they are selected later this month. |
