Beer Tasting Festival Seeks Grant Proposals

The Great Decatur Beer Tasting Festival committee is now accepting grant proposals from Decatur-based nonprofit programs wishing to be considered for funding from proceeds of the 2006 festival.

Each year the committee donates 75 percent of the festival profits to designated community projects. The remaining 25 percent is used to fund downtown advertising projects and to provide start-up funding for the next year's festival.

The committee is interested in funding projects that contribute to the quality of life in Decatur and do not have ongoing fundraising activities associated with them. The committee prefers to use its funds to jump-start a special project and provide seed capital to get a focused activity off the ground.

Organizations must be based within the city of Decatur to be considered. The application may be downloaded from this page. Or you may call 404-371- 9583 or email events@decaturga.com and request a copy. Applications must be postmarked no later than Aug. 11, 2006.
