Foundation awards $17K via summer grants program

July 2, 2013 by Greater Milwaukee Foundation Leave a Comment

The Greater Milwaukee Foundation awarded $17,000 in grants to area agencies through its inaugural summer grants for kids initiative.

Grants of $1,000 each were given to 17 selected agencies to support supervised summer programs and activities that introduce kids to new experiences, provide them opportunities that would normally be unavailable to them and encourage the participation of their parents and family members.

“With this special grant program, our hope is not only that kids return to school in the fall with great memories of the summer, but more importantly that they also are ready to learn,” said Janel Hines, director of grant programs. “These mini grants provide agencies an extra boost to help children do just that.”

Recipients include the following projects and programs that run during the summer of 2013 and serve children and young adults in Milwaukee, Waukesha, Ozaukee and Washington counties.
