I love the events calendar – learning about new events every day! This is a great resource to help people connect and get moving.
Thanks Karen! We’ve received great feedback on the calendar and plan on expanding it soon!
When will we know if an improvement grant will be funded will we receive an email either way?
Hi Jamie! Fitness & Fun Mini-Grant Awards have just started rolling out via email, and we will continue to distribute them as soon as possible. Community Improvement Mini-Grants will be awarded shortly thereafter, while funds remain for eligible projects. They will also be confirmed via email. Thank you!
