The Palatine Jaycees are accepting applications from local community organizations serving Palatine residents as part of their annual Community Donations Program.
"Historically, these awards have ranged from $100.00 to $3,000.00," said Chrissy Trilling-Raices, Co-Chair of the Program. "The requests for assistance have been for programs or equipment. We receive applications from many groups like Little City and the Bridge."
"Organizations with specific needs should submit written proposals to the Community Donations Committee for consideration," said Cheri Trombino, Co-Chair of the Program. “Include the amount requested with a brief description of the usage for the funds.”
