The Farm Neck Foundation announces a call for applicants for its 2014 foundation grants. All Island nonprofit organizations whose goal is to improve the quality of life in the Martha’s Vineyard community are eligible to apply.

The foundation was created in 1989 and is funded by contributions from the membership and supporters of Farm Neck Golf Club. The board of directors does not fund salaries, but gives special consideration to innovative approaches to problems or needs that cannot get funding through traditional sources.

Nonprofits are invited to submit a concise proposal describing their project, its potential benefits, budget requirements and the amount of funding requested, along with two letters of support from sources outside the organization. The deadline for proposals is Nov. 1, 2014. They may be sent to Farm Neck Foundation Inc., P.O. Box 1656, Oak Bluffs, MA 02557.
