Grassroots Community Programs Funding

Tom's of Maine 50 States for Good Community Sponsorship Program supports grassroots organizations throughout the United States working to do good in their communities. In 2010, the program will provide grants of $20,000 each to five nonprofit organizations to help them enhance their community projects. Eligible projects must have a positive impact on the community in one of the following areas: Environmental Goodness, Healthy Human Goodness, or Animal Goodness. A review panel of leaders from around the country will narrow the applications down to 40 finalists. Information on these finalists will be posted on the Tom's of Maine website in August so that the public can vote for which five projects should be awarded funding. The deadline for submitting online applications is 5pm ET July 2, 2010. Visit the company’s website to learn more about this program.
