CCLF Community Funding
The County Clothes-Line Foundation grants funds, generated by the Clothes-Line Store, to Strathcona County non-profit groups and individuals, to assist them in initiating innovative projects or programs which contribute toward a higher quality of life for the residents of Strathcona County.
Applications for funding are submitted to the Board of Directors for consideration. Each project is judged on its individual merit and the perceived ability of the organization to meet their objectives and those of the County Clothes-Line Foundation, as well as the amount of money available for funding.
