FRIENDS RECEIVE GRANT

Every year the San Mateo County Parks & Recreation Foundation donates $15,000 to Parks & Recreation to support volunteer programs. A portion of that money goes directly to volunteer organizations and park units as grants. This year a total of $9,100 was granted, the remainder being retained by Parks & Recreation for volunteer coordination.

The Friends of Edgewood applied for and received grants of $1,500 to support the docent program and to replace the map pockets on the kiosks at the park.

In addition, CNPS received a grant of $650 to support the weeding program at Edgewood.

Among other grantees were the Friends of Fitzgerald ($1,500 for docent program materials), Volunteer Horse Patrol ($800 for uniform items), and San Pedro Valley Park Volunteers ($500 for bookstore materials and trail maintenance tools).

The remainder of the $9,100 was allocated to various park units for tree planting, painting, and various other projects.

We are very grateful to the San Mateo County Parks and Recreation Foundation for making these volunteer grants available, and to the Parks and Recreation Department for approving our grant requests.
