RMHC Grants and Scholarships
Grants
---------------------------------------
RMHC of the Central Valley is proud to financially support numerous not-for-profit organizations throughout Central California. We have the ability to contribute thousands of dollars in grants every year to other local children's organizations. Last year we awarded $16,000 to financially support not-for-profits that have demonstrated an ability to respond to the needs of specific groups of children and their families in a definitive, hands-on manner that yields measurable results.

Our 2008 mini-grant program is now available!  Grants of up to $5,000 will be made to nonprofit or tax exempt agencies from our 7-county service area. 

The submission deadline is July 31, 2008.
