Community foundation food and children's arts grants close Oct. 14

CHARLOTTESVILLE - Nonprofits serving Charlottesville and Albemarle County have until 11:59 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 14, to apply to two grant funds, according to the Charlottesville Area Community Foundation's grant opportunities page. Both the PB&J Fund and the Prana Fund opened Sept. 1.

The PB&J Fund supports programs that teach cooking and nutrition to children and families and that improve access to affordable, healthy food for under-resourced residents. It makes unrestricted awards of up to $25,000 for one year, or up to $50,000 over two years.

The Prana Fund awards up to $15,000 for hands-on projects that combine environmental education and the visual arts for local children, focusing on children who have had limited access to the arts and the outdoors.

The PB&J Fund accepts 501(c)(3) nonprofits, governmental and religious entities and fiscally sponsored groups. The Prana Fund accepts nonprofits, schools and fiscally sponsored groups. Applicants request an access code by emailing grants@cacfonline.org. The foundation says it will notify applicants by mid-December.
