Beaumont Foundation Community Grants

Posted by on June 26, 2004

Beaumont Foundation of America has announced it’s 2004 Community Grants program. This year programs in Beaumont’s "B Group" states are eligible (see below). While the grant criteria seems quite a bit more restrictive than in the 2003 "A Group" states, it is still a source that eligible nonprofits should consider.

Funding for this program is from a class action lawsuit against Toshiba, the program provides Toshiba equipment to eligible organizations.

Deadlines are June 30 for Boys and Girls Clubs and Salvation Army organizations, July 30 for others:
