General Mills Accepting Applications for Hometown Helper Grant Program
Posted by Carolyn Spohrer at 11:59 AM Funding Opportunities | Press Releases
Hamburger Helper, a General Mills company, has announced the call for entries to the 2008 "My Hometown Helper" grant program, a nationwide initiative designed to lend a "helping hand" to local groups making a difference in their community.
People looking to improve their hometown — from helping to fund a volunteer fire department, to restoring a town landmark, to supporting a local school — are encouraged to submit entries. Last year, the program gave away more than $200,000 in total grants and helped communities purchase new band equipment, build a school playground, and fund a tornado warning system, among other projects.
