Blogger's Note: The following was provided by Hobart's Run.
Hobart’s Run has announced it has not turned away any of the applicants for its previously publicized Hobart’s Run Covid-19 emergency assistance grants – many of whom wrote in their applications about how they already are working to pay it forward by helping others in Pottstown.
The grants are Hobart’s Run’s small way of sending hope and solidarity to our caring community during an uncertain time.
The review team included two Hobart's Run Board Members, Jason Ingle (noted below) and
Pottstown community member David Charles; two Hobart's Run student representatives, Noorie Dhingra (also on the Board) and Trent Charlton; and Stephanie Trauner from the Hobart's Run team.
Ten nonprofits (list below) will receive $500 Community Impact Grants, and five recently opened small businesses will receive $1,000.
Hobart’s Run, a 501(c)(3), was able to meet all requests in part due to gifts made to supplement our fund by both Sitko Tree Farm, Pottstown, and Jason Ingle, Hill ’93, of Malvern, Pa., a generous member of the Hobart’s Run board of directors and co-founder of Closed Loop Capital, which invests in food system entrepreneurs, and Greener Partners, a not-for-profit that connects communities to healthy food.
If significant matching funds are raised, Hobart’s Run would like to offer a second round of funding, extending the grant to small, established Pottstown businesses which have demonstrated philanthropic contributions to our community and support for the borough’s overall economic development.
To do so in a meaningful way, Hobart's Run needs to supplement those dollars remaining in this particular fund.
