The Military Spouses of Newport (MSON) club is pleased to announce the 2021 spring grant award recipients. In total, $3,500 was awarded to four, local non-profit organizations.

One of the ways MSON (501 (c) (7)) strives to support our local community each year is by donating thousands of dollars to local non-profits. Yearly, MSoN gives $5,000 - $10,000 in community grants to non-profit organizations directly benefiting military families, with the average grant being $500 - $1000. Organizations should apply for funding for their most critical needs. MSoN support can be requested for continuing your existing projects, undertaking an expansion in your organization or creating all new programs.
Community grants are disbursed twice a year: applications must be postmarked on October 15 and April 15 to be considered. The current MSoN Community Grants Committee will consider pending, qualified applications within the disbursement period in which they are received, unless otherwise noted on your application. Organizations may apply more than once and will be considered regardless of acceptance or denial of funding from past applications. The application is linked below in the green box.
