Donald W. Reynolds Foundation Every year the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation identifies a specific community need within Clark County and asks nonprofit organizations that are providing such services to consider applying for a Bonnie Soucoup Community Fund grant. This year the Foundation’s Bonnie Soucoup Community Fund will focus its grant making on existing programs that provide health-re-
lated services (excluding medical care). Grant consideration will be given for programs, equipment, materials or a combination of these needs If you are interested in applying for a grant, please fill out the application and return it to the Foundation’s office. Applications must be received by 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, October 1, 2013.
