In October, MPF awarded a $5000 grant to the MariElders for restoration and repairs to the MariElders building. The Garden Club was also awarded a grant in the form of $2000 for the restoration and beautification of the Isabella Hopkins Park, across from the Mariemont Branch Library.
According to the grant guidelines created by MPF, “The Mariemont Preservation Foundation (MPF) is dedicated to being a resource which is capable of helping meet the physical, cultural, civic, recreational, and educational needs of Village residents.”
MPF grant applications are due February 1 and August 1 of each year. Grants are then awarded in March and September to local groups who meet the criteria. Application forms are available at the MPF website: mariemontpreservation.org, under “Resources.”
