The Community Foundation of Portage and District's grant proposal deadline is quickly approaching.

CFPD Executive Director Mary Lynn Moffat says the deadline is this Friday, and explains who can apply.

"These grants are available to any registered charitable organization. They're intended to help support various projects relating to social services, arts and culture, education, medical services, physical fitness and health, all youth programming and family being. There's a wide range of types of projects that can be funded under this program."

Moffat says they usually see the bulk of the applications come in right before the deadline.

"They're trickling in now. As we always expect, the last day -- the deadline date -- is always the busiest day going. We have two intake dates a year, there's the one in the spring and one in the fall. So we encourage folks if there's a project or a need for some capital, get your applications in and if it doesn't work this time, keep it in mind for the fall."

Only registered charitable organizations can apply for the Grant. Call the CFPD for information of check out there website here.
