Capital Region Community Foundation is pleased to announce that Listening Ear of East Lansing has received the 2009 Impact Grant Award of $75,000. The grant is for the purchase of a building for the Capital Area Sexual Assault Response Center. Listening Ear is one of 125 grants totaling over $544,000 announced for the summer 2009 granting cycle.
"The Community Foundation has recognized a gap in providing many important services to our region and this grant for a centralized location for victims of sexual assault will result in better services and reduced costs," said Dennis Fliehman, CRCF President.
This grant award is in addition to the over $1.8 million already given by the Foundation in 2009. More grants will be announced in the fall.
