Theisen’s has announced the launch of the 2015 Theisen’s More for Your Community Grants program.
Supported by Theisen’s charitable fund and through a partnership with the Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque, grants will be made available in all Theisen’s store communities.
This year, more than $200K in total grants will be distributed to the region served by Theisen’s, with each store having at least $5,000 available. The maximum request per project application is $5,000.
The More for Your Community Program will make direct grants to agencies to jumpstart and/or sustain projects that most effectively and directly serve the basic needs of families and children, which include food, shelter, education, safety and health. Applicants must be 501(c)(3) nonprofits, government-sponsored, or school-sponsored organizations and directly serving children and families within a 60-mile radius of a Theisen's store. Applications are available now at www.dbqfoundation.org/theisens and directions to access the application are also available at each store.
Company President Jim Theisen said, “As we begin our seventh year of More for Your Community Grants, we are proud to support our new partners in Sparta and Black River Falls, Wis. Our Theisen’s team encourages the important work being accomplished by the volunteers and leaders who serve children and families in our store communities. We invite nonprofit groups to complete an application online and tell us by Aug. 31 how we can help.”
