Lakewood Ranch Rotary accepting grant applications

The Lakewood Ranch Rotary Club’s Ways and Means Committee is accepting grant applications by local nonprofits that wish to be considered for some of the net proceeds from last month’s Suncoast Food and Wine Fest.

Twenty-two local and international charities benefited from last year’s Wine Fest, a member-driven fundraiser that draws thousands of visitors to the Sarasota Polo Grounds.

Nonprofits wishing to submit a grant for consideration may get more information or an application online at suncoastfoodandwinefest.com or by phone at 941-358-2068.  To be considered, an organization must be a 501(c)3.

Applications will be accepted until Jan. 10.
