Grants will benefit Santa Clara County youth organizations, child development programs and schools
By Staff Reports
The Gilroy Assistance League is accepting grant requests beginning Jan. 5 and running through Feb. 23. Each year, the organization accepts grant requests that will benefit youth organizations, programs, and schools. South Santa Clara County youth-related organizations and schools are eligible to apply for a grant. Funds will be distributed in late April 2024.
“I am very pleased to announce the Gilroy Assistance League is projecting to offer an estimated $35,000 through our grants program in 2024,” said Lee Blaettler, Gilroy Assistance League president. “We have steadily grown our grants program during the years as our Home and Garden Tour continues to be a well-received community event . . . due to the hard work of our members and the generosity of our sponsors, guests, donors, and of course, the homeowners.”
GALS Grants Committee Chair Paula Goldsmith said if your classroom or youth organization’s financial needs are not being met, and there are special projects you would like extra funding for, please consider applying for a grant.
“Our whole membership reads and votes on each grant, and the organizations selected for grants are presented their checks in April 2024,” Goldsmith said. A formal Grant Request Application must be completed and returned no later than Friday, Feb. 23, 2024. Forms may be downloaded from the web site at www.gilroyassistanceleague.org.
