Last fall $1.7 million was awarded in 38 grants to area non-profits by the Washington County Riverboat Foundation. The organization is now accepting applications for the fall 2015 grant cycle. The grant applications are due October 7th by 5 p.m. Twice each year the foundation distributes 75% of the annual donations it receives from the Riverside Casino and Golf Resort in grants through the competitive fund.

Last fall’s grants included $125,000 to the Riverside Fire Department for a ladder truck, $200,000 to the Mid-Prairie School Foundation for their athletic complex, and $750,000 to Halcyon House for their expansion.
