Grants will be awarded to organizations whose purposes and activities are related to any one (or more) of the following five categories:
Once the WLS Grants Committee reviews the applications, it will present its recommendations to the Board of Directors of the WLS Foundation for selection and approval. There is no predetermined amount for each grant or the number of grants to be awarded. However, we anticipate grants to range from $1,000 to $1,500.
Grant recipients will be notified no later than July 30, 2021. Due to the pandemic, we are not positive that we will be able to award grants in person but will inform recipients as soon as possible if an in-person event is scheduled. Attendance would be optional.
