Falmouth, MA, April 21, 2015—Grant requests from the community are again being accepted by Falmouth Road Race, Inc. Submissions are accepted on a twice-yearly basis, with the next deadline on May 1.

The grant program was established as a way for Falmouth Road Race, Inc. to give back to the community, fulfilling its mission to promote health and fitness while at the same time thanking the residents and organizations of Falmouth for their help and support.

Each year, Falmouth residents and organizations provide countless hours of volunteer effort for the New Balance Falmouth Road Race, a world-class event for both elite and recreational runners, as well as for the SBLI Falmouth Family Fun Run and other activities surrounding the road race.

“As we approach the 43rd year of our world-famous and locally beloved race, we become more and more thankful to be part of such a supportive and caring community,” said Scott Ghelfi, president of Falmouth Road Race, Inc. “Being in a position to give back to people who work so hard and care so much is a privilege we don’t take lightly.”

Last fall, Falmouth Road Race, Inc. awarded grants totaling more than $200,000 to local organizations including Around the Table http://your-pharmacies.com (food vouchers), Falmouth High School Girls’ Softball (uniforms), Falmouth Skatepark Association (new skateboarding park), Well Grounded, through Falmouth Together We Can (materials to help restore greenhouse at FHS), and Falmouth Community Television (contribution toward a mobile production vehicle).

Since the beginning of fiscal year 2012-2013, grants awarded under the program have totaled $554,421.

Organizations and groups interested in applying for a grant from the Falmouth Road Race, Inc., should provide the following:
