At the meeting of the Elmhurst City Council on Monday, April 1, the Community Grant Program was approved, providing funds to several local organizations that “enhance the City as an engaging and fulfilling place to live, visit and conduct business,” according to the resolution.
The Community Grant Review Team hosted an Explore Elmhurst Community Grant Workshop in mid-February to provide an opportunity to learn more about each applicant and organization to understand in depth how grant funds will be used. Applicants could also ask questions.
