Melanie Lekocevic writes in The Daily Mail the Athens Community Foundation recently announced 38 awards to 32 different groups, totaling more than $200,000. Since its inception 13 years ago, the foundation has awarded a total of $2 million to local non-profit organizations in support of local programming that benefits the residents of Athens in some way. The foundation was established as part of an agreement negotiated between Athens Generating and the town of Athens when the company’s plant was in the planning stages more than a decade ago. The company contributed funds to the foundation for a number of years, but has since met its obligation. Other corporate contributors include the Peckham Family Foundation and the Morgan Stanley Charitable Spending Program. Civic, sports, cultural, fraternal, educational and governmental groups are eligible for grant money. It has helped a variety of local events over the years, such as the Athens Street Festival, the Victorian Stroll and the town’s summertime movie night at the pool.
