Founded in 2008, the Dungate Community Forest has established an annual community donations program through profits derived from its logging activities.
There’s no application deadline date and requests for donations are considered year around.
Foundation chair Steven Wright says a number of factors come into play when evaluating an application for financial assistance.
Those factors include the applying group’s own contributions of material or labour, he said.
Dungate Community Grant application forms can be requested by emailing dungatecomfor@houston.ca.
