The Charles R. Wood Foundation is accepting grant applications from IRS approved 501(c)3 organizations whose projects or programs assist children, healthcare or the arts in the Lake George Region and surrounding areas.
Eligible applicants are invited to visit www.charlesrwoodfoundation.com to submit online applications by April 1 for consideration at the spring meeting of trustees or by Sept. 1 for consideration at the fall meeting.
Over the past five years, the foundation has awarded nearly $9.7 million dollars to charitable organizations in the Capital Region, North Country, and western Vermont.
“We are so pleased to be able to invest in so many worthwhile projects. From the smallest soup kitchens to the larger capital projects, we are committed to investing in children, healthcare and the arts in our geographical focus area,” said Charlene Wood, chair and trustee.
The foundation’s Special Healthcare initiative aims to improve the overall health of the population in the region and will continue to accept collaborative applications from organizations serving Clinton, Essex, Franklin, Fulton, Hamilton, Montgomery, Saratoga, Warren, and Washington counties.
Charles R. Wood established the foundation in 1978. Grants are awarded to nonprofit organizations with an emphasis on programs for children, healthcare and the arts.
