New resources, webinars, funding information for the S.C. Lowcountry Promise Zone

PromiseZone_logo_80wIn this new issue of our periodic newsletter about Zone opportunities, you’ll learn about a great new opportunity for communities to win support through the CommunityWINS grant program. It’s not part of the Promise Zone initiative, but it fits perfectly with the kinds of things being done in our Promise Zone.

Other new funding opportunities include programs for nonprofits, rural development grants for housing repairs, telehealth grants and healthier meals for students.

There are also several webinars on subjects as diverse as the Affordable Care Act, racial healing, retirement options for small businesses, USDA applications, and capacity building.
