Local Clubs and Organizations
Many local chapters of clubs and organizations have a service, civic, or skills-based focus and will provide funding for local projects. Networking with members of these establishments can uncover what they have to offer as they don’t typically advertise or promote these opportunities. Some local clubs can apply for grants at the national level for projects to support the community.
