Community Project Funding Applications for Fiscal Year 2025 Coming in January

While the application process begins in March, Congresswoman Adams encourages community partners to submit their grant proposals to her office for an initial review in January 2024. Be on the lookout for more information on the application process in the coming weeks.
This year has brought many challenges that may cause us to question if there is still good in the world, and there is! Now, more than ever, we must look out for one another and always strive to find joy around us. As we enter this New Year, let us remember to lend a helping hand to those in need, show empathy to those who are hurting, and, most of all, spread love wherever we go. Because, as the Bible tells us, “Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people.”
Wishing you a 2024 full of love, warmth, and peace.
Happy New Year,
Alma Adams
