May 2013: Youth Engagement Program
The West Marin Fund made a second round of small grants in May 2013 which focused on youth engagement through service in communities, thanks to a generous donor. We speeded up the application and grants process to get grants to award- winners in time for summer projects at school’s end.
The Fund was pleased to make 20 grants in this program, getting another $51,000 into West Marin for youth programs.
