The Service League of Cherokee County is accepting applications for Community Impact Grants. The success of the League's annual fundraisers, such as the Riverfest Arts and Crafts Festival, the annual Run for the Children "Reindeer Run" 5K and 1-Mile Fun Run, and the Annual Ball and Dancing for the Children Celebrity Dance Challenge, allows the League the opportunity to channel funds directly back into the community to other charities and organizations serving children in need throughout Cherokee County. The League is currently seeking to assist with new ideas and new projects throughout the community that will make a positive impact on children. A total of $30,000 will be awarded through this program, and anyone whose project aims to serve families with children in Cherokee County may apply.

Copies of the Community Impact Grant application and rubric are available at ServiceLeague.net. Applications must be postmarked by November 7, 2014, and winners will be notified by November 17, 2014. Grant winners must be prepared to complete a grant evaluation report at the completion of their project.
