The Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore (CFES) is pleased to announce the Goslee Youth Initiative, in honor of Gladys Goslee, local educator. Gladys was a schoolteacher for over 40 years, CFES Board member and community leader. She was a passionate advocate for youth, especially those with limited resources and opportunities.
This special grant funding will support programs that are addressing these key issue areas in K-12 Education: lack of support and structure for youth during out of school hours, mental health and substance abuse in the home, insufficient access to enrichment, college, or college prep, and lack of parental involvement.
The Community Foundation’s Almand Donor Advised Fund recently contributed $1,000.00 to the Goslee Youth Initiative. In addition, many other donor advisors have contributed gifts of any amount. All contributions can be made to the Community Foundation.

Requests for Proposals (RFP) will be accepted from March 15 to April 01, 2015. The award range is expected to be $5,000 – $10,000. Please visit www.cfes.org for more information.
