Orangeville residents can have their say on which lucky nonprofits will receive one of five $2,000 Rotary Community Choice Grants.
The top three organizations that receive the most votes will each get a grant.
The final two will be selected by the Rotary Orangeville Highlands grants committee from the list of nominees, with a view to helping smaller non-profits that might not have a social media following.
Here are this year’s nominees:
• Big Brothers Big Sisters of Dufferin
• Caledon\Dufferin Victim Services
• Celebrate Your Awesome
• Dufferin Arts Council
• Dufferin Parent Support Network
• Family Transition Place
• Headwaters Health Care Foundation
• Hospice Dufferin
• Orangeville and District Horticultural Society
• Orangeville Food Bank
• Theatre Orangeville
• The Lighthouse Community Meal Program
• The Ontario SPCA Orangeville and District Animal Centre
“Every non-profit on the voting list was nominated by community members,” said Len Meyer, Chair of the Rotary Grants Committee.
“We have doubled the money this year to help out local charities that much more.”
Vote at www.rcoh.ca between March 17th-24th. Winners will be announced on March 31st.
