The Granville County Parks, Greenways and Recreation Advisory Committee is accepting applications for the 2023 recreation mini-grant cycle. The application period will close at 3 p.m on Jan.31, 2023.
Submitted requests may not exceed $25,000, according to information from county public information officer Terry Hobgood. Applicants must be a government entity or a non-profit organization. While it is not mandatory that the non-profits have 501c-3 designation, it is encouraged.
The programming funds are used to facilitate the development and support of active and passive recreation and leisure activities for Granville County residents. The objective is to make these activities available to as many residents as possible, and to include a broad spectrum of participants, especially in areas of the county that are underserved by recreational opportunities (such as the southeastern portion of the county) or areas have not received prior funding. Recreation programming should seek to serve all age groups. The Granville County Parks, Greenways, and Recreation Advisory Committee bylaws prohibit discrimination in the use of funds.
