  "textContent": "The Rotary Club of Port Townsend believes that investing in our\nlocal community is a cornerstone of our work. One of the ways we\ndo this is through our community grants program which supports\nlocal nonprofit organizations. This year, surprisingly, we have had\nvery few applicants, and we are looking at various ways to\npublicize this opportunity. Can the Beacon help us do that?\n\nLast year we awarded just over $25,000 to eight local\norganizations such as ECHHO, Olympic Angels, The Benji Project\nand five other great programs. Grant amounts range from $500 to\n$5000. Recipients must hold a 501(c)(3) designation from the\nIRS.\nAn application form and more information is available on our\nwebsite. Application deadline is May 8.\n\nBeacon readers, if you know of organizations that might qualify for\none of our grants, please let them know of this opportunity.\n\nPat Vaughan\nPresident\nPort Townsend Rotary Charitable Fund",
