SARASOTA, Fla. - Feb. 7, 2017 - PRLog -- Sisterhood For Good, a donor-advised fund of the Lakewood Ranch Community Fund, is now accepting grant applications from non-profit organizations and programs throughout the Sarasota-Manatee area that need help. Applications can be submitted online at www.SisterhoodForGood.org and are due by April 15, 2017, to be selected for the 2017 grant distribution.

Sisterhood For Good raises funds to support projects and programs for a variety of causes, including women's and children's issues, animal welfare, arts and education, health and safety, and hunger and homelessness.

Those applying for grants are asked to submit a completed application form that summarizes their non-profit and illustrates how a grant from Sisterhood For Good will make an immediate, direct impact to a specific project or cause. Proof of 501(c)(3) status is also required.
