Only days remain for an opportunity for some groups to seek help if they need it.
The Leo Livingston Fund grant committee is accepting applications to help local non-profit organizations. The deadline for applications is Friday, Feb. 11.
The Community Foundation of the Brazos Valley administers a charitable endowment fund that was created in memory of Leo Livingston by his wife Doris Livingston, benefits nonprofit organizations in the Taylor community.
The foundation is accepting applications from 501(c)(3) organizations for the local grant.
Five Taylor business leaders and civic leaders represent the interests of the community in reviewing annual grant applications and presenting recommendations regarding the distribution of these annual grants.
The board members consider grants to support effective and established programs, help launch innovative programs and fund unique capital needs that will increase an organization’s capacity.
Grants will not be made to underwrite or sponsor fundraising events or public relation events.
To apply, organizations need to be a local non-profit with a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status along with a list of board members and officers.
Recipients will be notified in March. A formal announcement and presentation will take place in April.

Applications must be postmarked by Friday, Feb. 11, and mailed to:
