Bighorn Golf Club Charities Accepting Grant Applications from Nonprofits
PALM DESERT (CNS) - Coachella Valley nonprofits are able to submit
grant applications today to Bighorn Golf Club Charities.
The grants are intended to help nonprofits seeking funding for
specific new projects or equipment that benefit the region's most underserved
individuals. Groups interested in the grant must submit their applications by
July 1.
Bighorn Cares grants support a broad range of people and programs
including outreach, after-school services, food relief, elderly aid, disability
assistance, shelter relief, foster care, health screenings and military
support. The program has awarded more than $6.2 million through 653 grants to
qualified non-profits, according to Bighorn officials.
``The generosity of Bighorn Cares ensures that Coachella Valley
children who are ill, underprivileged, or living with special needs receive the
support and resources they need to thrive,'' said Heidi Maldoon, executive
director of Variety-the Children's Charity of the Desert. ``Because of Bighorn
Cares, the lives of thousands of children, siblings, and families have been
positively impacted.''
Bighorn Golf Club Charities is the parent organization for both
Bighorn Bam, which funds a number of local cancer-related causes, and Bighorn
Cares, which funds specific projects for local nonprofits.
Grant applications are available at bighorncares.com/.
