Sheltering Arms Foundation Awards PRIMEtime Collaborative a $15,000 grant

The PRIMEtime out-of-school collaborative has received a $15,000 grant from The Sheltering Arms Foundation. The grant will help support the continuation of the free PLUS and Summer PLUS programs for local youth in grade K-5. More than 300 young people take part in these out-of-school-time programs each year.

As reported recently in the Northfield News, Sheltering Arms Foundation Executive Director Denise Mayotte noted: “We were impressed with the great use the PRIMEtime Collaborative makes of community resources and how committed it is to providing high quality programming for the kids.  The collaborative uses a large number of volunteers from both the town and the local colleges and links schools and out-of-school-time programs in a way that we think can serve as a model for other communities.”

As a partner in the PRIMEtime collaborative, the Healthy Community Initiative will assist in the administration of the Sheltering Arms grant.

The Sheltering Arms Foundation’s mission is to invest in the lives of Minnesota’s children and help them reach their full potential.
