PACES Director Mary Hillman accepts Bock Foundation Grant

The Bock Family Foundation fall grant presentation is coming this Monday, and several local organizations will be awarded funds for their upcoming programs and projects.

The nonprofit foundation supports local groups centered around religious, charitable, scientific, literary, or educational purposes by awarding grants twice a year. In their spring cycle, they awarded 34 grants for a total of $63,753.94. Since its inception in 2002, the Bock Foundation has given more than $1.7 million. Each project funded is located in Dallas County, with preference given to the four northwest townships. All recipients are nonprofit organizations or a unit of state or local government.

The grant presentation will be held Monday at 3:30 p.m. in the Perry Public Library’s large meeting room. Recipients have been notified that they’ve received funding, though not the dollar amount, and each group is encouraged to have a representative in attendance to accept their grant.
