Three Major Grants Awarded to the Charles River Skatepark Project
9 August 2004
The Herman and Frieda Miller Foundation has awarded the CRC a grant worth $50,000
to be allocated to the skatepark project.
In addition, the Peter and Carolyn Lynch Foundation has awarded the CRC a $100,000
grant for the skatepark. $50,000 will be given immediately, while the other $50,000
will be provided in the form of a challenge grant, which stipulates that the CRC
raise an additional $50,000 to match it.
Thirdly, an anonymous foundation has awarded the CRC a $110,000 challenge grant
toward the planning and construction of the skatepark. A preliminary payment of
$10,000 for design and planning has been given, and the additional $100,000 will
be provided for construction once the remaining funds for the skatepark have been
secured.
With this recent financial support, the CRC is excited to announce that the
Charles River Skatepark fund has broken the $500,000 mark. Please make
your donations now as we prepare our final push toward the campaign goal of $1.1
million.
