The West Marin Fund (WMF) awarded $55,000 towards “Realizing high Priority Goals” in its Spring 2016 round of grants – the seventh grant round in the past 3.5 years, now totaling $360,000 to more than 50 organizations, all made possible by generous gifts from local donors to the Fund. This current broad category included operational improvements, community engagement, program expansion and evaluation. The small grants of up to $5000 bolster the many nonprofits that provide community services to the small villages of West Marin.
West Marin Fund is pleased to support West Marin Community Services’ program Water Dogs — teaching our children to be safe and have fun in the water.
