The Gannett Foundation seeks projects which take a creative approach to such fundamental issues as education and neighborhood improvement, economic development, youth development, community problem-solving, assistance to disadvantaged people, environmental conservation and cultural enrichment.
Gannett Foundation grants are distributed two times during the year. Applications are due to WZZM 13 on February 15 and August 15. Like many donors, the Gannett Foundation receives many more requests than they can fund. As a result, contributions will not be considered for the purposes listed below.
For more information, review the guidelines below. If you have questions, call Beth Wilson at the WZZM 13 Community Relations Dept.: (616) 785-1313.
