2010 Grant Request Information
for the ECAR Community Benefit Raffle & Bazaar
The Community Benefit Raffle and Bazaar is an annual event that is conducted by the Community Relations Committee of the Eastern Connecticut Association of REALTORS® Charitable and Education Fund that is attended by REALTOR® members and Affiliates of the Association. Features of the event include the drawing for major prizes from raffle tickets sold from October to December, a Tea Cup auction and a 50/50 raffle.
Last year over $14,000 was donated to 20 local charities during the holiday season. These monies were used in various ways to help the unfortunate in our community, which is our workplace.
The Committee extends an invitation to any local charity to request funding for a specific dollar amount for a specific use. Interested organizations should complete the fillable 2010 Community Grant Application and send it to:
Catherine Newlin, Chairperson
Community Relations Committee
c/o Eastern Connecticut Association of REALTORS® Charitable and Education Fund
P.O.Box 58
Yantic, CT 06389-0058
Requests must be submitted no later than August 2, 2010 to be considered. The Community Relations Committee will review all requests and vote on the submissions at their August meeting and choose recipients. The recipients will be contacted and notified by September 1, 2010.
The early deadline is due to the need to include recipients of the funding on raffle tickets. This information must be included on a Department of Special Revenue permit that is required to conduct the raffle.
Eastern Connecticut Association of REALTORS® Charitable and Education Fund is a not for profit 501 (c) 3 corporation that is wholly owned by the Eastern Connecticut Association of REALTORS®. Donations to the fund are, therefore, tax deductible.
