Deadline: September 30, 2007
Hamburger Helper, a General Mills brand, has announced its 2007 “My Hometown Helper" grant program, a nationwide initiative that helps local groups make a difference in their own community.
People looking to improve their hometown -- whether by building a new playground, funding new band uniforms, or expanding town sidewalks -- can apply for a one-time grant to help fund their project.
Applicants are invited to submit an essay of 250 words or less describing how the grant would help their community project.
Award amounts will range from $500 to $15,000 each and all requests for funding must be sponsored by a municipal or civic organization or a public school. Funds will be awarded based on the merit of the project, including its impact on, and support within, the community.
Last year, "My Hometown Helper" gave away more than $100,000 in total grants and helped communities install lights for a football field, clean up a local river, and purchase ambulance equipment, among other great projects.
For more information on the "My Hometown Helper" grant program and a complete set of rules, visit the program's Web site.
