State Farm to award grants through Neighborhood Assist program
The program awards $25,000 grants to 40 nonprofit organizations to help fund neighborhood improvement projects.
Individuals can submit a cause at www.neighborhoodassist.com starting June 2. Interested individuals can prepare now by going to the website and downloading the submission guide. The first 2,000 submissions will be accepted. The State Farm Review Committee then will narrow the field to the top 200 finalists using a scoring rubric.
Ultimately, voters will decide which community improvement projects win big. The public will have a chance to vote 10 times a day, every day for 10 days, from Aug. 18-27, for their favorite causes from the list of finalists. Voting will take place at www.neighborhoodassist.com.
