LWVRA received notice on June 1st that it had been awarded a Martin Brown Voter Services Grant in the amount of $1000.  The LWV Grant Committee determined awards by reviewing proposed projects, budgeted expenses, treasury balance, local contribution toward voter service, and Education Fund balances (where applicable).  The Grant application was spear-headed by Past President, Rita Mills, and completed in collaboration with June Stewart, Barb Anderson, Joyce Briggs, Cecilia Warner, and Karen Lake. There were 27 Grant applications and $30,352 in funds awarded.  Terri Kalil, LWV President, reached out to the donor of the Martin Brown Grant funds and shared an anticipated greater need this year.  In response, the donor generously increased their gift.  LWVRA is appreciative of being a Martin Brown Grant recipient!
