Answers to your questions about grants
Derek Fisher, Chair of the Board of Directors of the Carroll County Community Foundation has announced the recipients of grants through the Foundation's competitive Community Grants Program for 2009. "Our donors have made gifts to the Foundation's Community Endowment Fund and other unrestricted funds so that we can help to make the community a better place. We believe that these hard working organizations and the programs that these grants support will do that. Thanks again to the donors who have made this possible."
