The Kootenay Savings Community Foundation is helping Christmas come a little early this year for nineteen different Kootenay-area non-prot organizations and service clubs.
“Twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, our Community Foundation reviews and evaluates many inspiring grant applications for projects, programs and initiatives that will benet current and future generations for years to come,” shares Aron Burke, Community Liaison for Kootenay Savings.
“At a time when many community programs and services are facing cutbacks in funding, it’s important for us as a local credit union to show the deep commitment we have to our communities. That’s why it’s so exciting to be able to announce this latest distribution of grants and donations, totalling over $89,000!”
