This is the 22nd year that the Dennis Family Corporation has hosted the Community Fund initiative and over that time $1m has been distributed to local not for profit groups in which they have residential developments.\u00a0 The Westbrook Community Fund has been operating for 6 years. This year a record 52 organisations applied for a grant and 23 submissions were successful, each receiving a grant of $1,500, totally $34,500.<\/p>\n
