Drive for donations

A committee selected by Chico Mayor Sean Morgan has sorted through the applications and selected 13 local nonprofits to participate in this year’s Community Grant Program. The city has designated $50,000 in matching funds to be divided among participants based on how much each community organization raises during an August donation drive organized through the North Valley Community Foundation. Contributions to the following groups can be made online at chicogrant.org:
