Urges local governments, schools and nonprofits to attend
Rep. Ryan Bizzarro March 7, 2022 | 4:19 PM
ERIE, March 7 – As part of his commitment to the community, state Rep. Ryan Bizzarro, D-Erie, is hosting a community grant seminar at 1 p.m. Friday, March 11. The state representative is urging local schools, governments and nonprofits to attend to learn how to access state resources to help fund local projects, programs and other initiatives.
“Since taking office, I’ve helped local organizations receive hundreds of millions in state and federal grants for projects large and small, part of my commitment to the communities of Erie County,” Bizzarro said. “But I can’t apply for these projects on my own, which is why it is critical that our community partners be aware of what state and federal programs are out there.”
The program will be co-hosted by the state Department of Community and Economic Development, along with PA House Appropriations Committee staff, who will be available to answer questions organizations may have. The webinar can be accessed by visiting www.RepBizzarro.com/GrantSeminar
“The bottom line is, if our local organizations don’t apply for these programs, someone else will,” Bizzarro said. “Half the battle is that initial application – once that’s done, then I can get involved and fight for our local projects. That’s why I’m urging local groups to check out this seminar to see if there’s a program out there that fits their needs.”
