	2008 Initiative for Effective Nonprofits

Well-run organizations are always striving to better themselves and the services they provide to our community. The Initiative for Effective Nonprofits is currently accepting applications for grants from nonprofit organizations that provide services to residents of the City of Charlottesville and the Counties of Albemarle, Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa and Nelson. As many as five grants of up to $5,000 are expected to be awarded. The grant application and guidelines can be found on the website,or you can email the Initiative.
