Six community organizations are getting a little financial help from the Petersburg Community Foundation. http://www.kfsk.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/24grants.mp3

The Petersburg Community Foundation puts money back into the community through annual grants to help maintain the quality of life in the area. Since the Petersburg Community Foundation started eight years ago it has awarded $67,000 dollars in grants to community organizations. The grants this year fund programs addressing early childhood education, childhood hunger, domestic violence, arts, and journalism.

The six organizations sharing the money are: The Petersburg Children’s Center, Petersburg Arts Council, Petersburg Corps of the Salvation Army, Mitkof Island Dance Troupe, WAVE, and KFSK. morePetersburg High School expands LeConte Glacier research
