  A beautiful good morning to you all! Who managed to see the lights this weekend? Mike and I botched it, and it makes me really sad, but if that's all I have to complain about...well, you know! There were certainly plenty of other things that went right this past week, so I'm going to choose to concentrate on those instead  😊 Many thanks to those who responded to my request for info on the companies you work for that may have community grant programs. I was able to write one grant last week, thanks to one of these connections (I'm looking at you, MH!). Now a question for the rest of you: do any of you work at Bank of America, Walmart, or Whole Foods? Bank of America in particular has a grant program that I can apply for, but it has to be done very quickly as the deadline is coming up fast. I can do it without a point of contact, but it's so much better to have one! Will the rest of you who work for corporations please check to see if they have a grant progra

  Good morning all! I've been thinking a lot lately. That can be a dangerous pass-time when it's not directed properly, so I've been working hard to keep it on track :-) You probably all know the saying, “You don't know what you don't know.” It's not just that you don't know stuff, it's that you don't even know that there are whole categories of stuff that you're not aware of. One area that I do know I am challenged in is grants. I know how to write them (mostly), but I don't always know how to find them, especially corporate grants. The community foundations that cover our area (Greater Lowell Community Foundation and the Community Foundation of North Central Massachusetts) have both been really helpful and supportive. We have also been supported by donations and volunteer hours by many fabulous local businesses, churches, and civic groups. I deeply appreciate all of these amazing organizations. What I don't know about, o
