Princeton Area Community Foundation Awards $500,000 in Summer Initiative Grants

The Princeton Area Community Foundation awarded a total of $500,000 in Summer Initiative grants to 25 local nonprofits.

The grants were awarded to nonprofits working to help young people who face disconnection from summer programs for a variety of reasons, including prohibitive cost, trust barriers, a gap in services for middle schoolers, and transportation, food and housing instability.

“Our grantee partners are working to help students build their academic skills over the summer, while also providing the youngsters with fun, enriching experiences, including field trips and arts education programs,” said Mathieu Nelessen, President & CEO of the Community Foundation. “We are grateful for the philanthropists who help make these grants possible.”
