GEORGETOWN, Del. — Nonprofit organizations in Georgetown now have the opportunity to apply for grant funding aimed at supporting community programs in recreation, education, and the arts. The Town of Georgetown has announced that $60,952 in funding is available through its Fiscal Year 2025 cycle of the Recreation, Education, Arts Trust — known as the GREAT Fund. Applications must be submitted by 4:30 p.m. on Friday, May 30. The grant program is financed through a surcharge collected on building permits, with the goal of reinvesting in local nonprofits that serve the community. Funding from the GREAT Fund may be used for specific programs, activities, or materials that fall within the focus areas of the initiative.
However, certain expenses are not eligible under the program. The town has specified that requests for capital projects, salaries, and fundraising costs will not be considered for grant support. Nonprofit groups interested in applying can access the application form and program guidelines on Georgetown’s official website. The GREAT Fund was designed to strengthen community offerings by channeling resources directly into grassroots efforts that promote engagement and enrichment across a range of age groups and interests. Town officials encourage eligible organizations to apply before the deadline to be considered for funding in the upcoming fiscal year.
