Woodstock, VA – The Shenandoah Community Foundation announced it is now accepting letters of intent from organizations seeking funding next year. Non Profit 501 (c )(3) or affiliated organizations serving Shenandoah County may send a short letter by November 1, 2016 describing the project for which they seek funding.

The Community Grants Program awards grants to area non-profits to support local initiatives. The program is made possible by a generous donation from Woodstock Anonymous.
