SAR accepting grant applications

Selkirk Association of Realtors is now accepting grant applications for grant awards to be given in June. Applications must be received at the SAR office by April 14.

Each year, SAR gives thousands of dollars to local groups in need of funding for their community service-oriented projects and programs in Bonner and Boundary counties. Last year, the association awarded more than $25,000 to individuals and groups in the two counties.

The Selkirk Association of Realtors is a nonprofit organization whose membership consists of Realtors, appraisers, banks, title companies, and other businesses affiliated with the real estate profession. Grant funds are raised among its members only, not from the general public, through the association’s annual fundraising efforts.

To obtain an application, contact the Association office at 208-265-2227, go online to www.selkirkaor.com, email Stephanie Rief at stephanie@selkirkaor.com, or stop by 325 S. Marion Ave., Sandpoint.

To qualify for a grant, groups or organizations must work primarily for the benefit of Bonner or Boundary County residents and benefit a large group of people as opposed to an individual. Projects that relate to housing issues are strongly encouraged. Groups in all cities and/or areas of Bonner and Boundary counties are encouraged to seek funding for their projects or issues.

If you need additional information, please contact the Selkirk Association of Realtors office at the above phone number.
