Reviewing the mini-grant proposals for this cycle was very challenging because there were so many wonderful proposals! We selected the winning organizations based on their geographical diversity and their potential to have a real and long-term impact on their communities. Above all we were impressed by the proposals that included participants from all sectors of the population, especially youth and under served communities.
