Community-Based Agencies Receive Grants

TYLER — Six Tyler faith- and community-based agencies were awarded a total of $186,505 in grants to build their capacity to address priorities set by the North Tyler community. That’s the word from A Circle of Ten, Inc. Leaders of A Circle of Ten announced funding to Christian Men’s Job Corps, Project HEAT, Arts & Humanities Council of East TX, Sisters in Christ, New Integrated Beginnings and Spring Creek Baptist Church. The money comes through the Expanding Capacity Opportunities for Nonprofits Initiative grant from the U.S. Dept. of Health & Human Services.

Each of the awardees will focus on two or more of the previously identified community priorities, determined earlier this year during several priority setting meetings as part of the efforts of the North Tyler Rebuild America Initiative.
