Youths in Philanthropy Project distributes grants

Date published: 7/9/2006

Six local organizations have received grants from the Youth in Philanthropy Project, a part of the Community Foundation of the Rappahannock River Region.

To be eligible, the organizations must serve the counties of Caroline, King George, Stafford, or Spotsylvania or the city of Fredericksburg.

The Rappahannock Council Against Sexual Assault received a grant of $1,000 to fund a pilot program at James Monroe High School. The program, 'Teens Against Sexual Assault,' will teach students how to take action against sexual violence in their community.

Local children who have recently lost a loved one will benefit from a $500 grant awarded to Hospice Support Care for the Camp Rainbow program. The camp helps children grieve and understand death."
