Caroline County Economic Development Awards $100,000 in Grants to Local Nonprofits
|
|
The State of Maryland provided funds to Caroline County Economic Development (CCED) for the purpose of granting nonprofits that had expenses in the last 18 months. The nonprofits must have been headquartered in, or operated in, Caroline County, and could not have received Maryland NORI funding.
The program ran in July and August 2021, and 11 local nonprofits were awarded grants up to $10,000. Happy to report that the Chamber of Commerce was one of the first recipients of the Caroline County nonprofit grant!
The County Commissioners and CCED are proud to have provided support to: Caroline County Humane Society, Lifetime Wells International, Caroline County Council of Arts, Preston Volunteer Fire Company, CASA of Caroline, Caroline County Chamber of Commerce, Denton Lions Club, Ridgely Volunteer Fire Company, Goldsboro Volunteer Fire Company, Greensboro Volunteer Fire Company, and Caroline County Office of Tourism.
(We encourage everyone to support Tracey’s Caroline Nonprofit Network!)
Caroline County Economic Development is a department within Caroline County government, and can be reached at 410-479-4188 or info@carolinebusiness.com
