Philanthropy/Grants 

As philanthropy is the core value of our organization, PPWC is dedicated to supporting our community by hosting numerous fundraising events throughout the year. The great majority of our funds will be generated through the Home Tour & Holiday Boutique.

We are proud to say that since 2000, PPJWC has raised more than $1,000,000 for our community. PPWC has continued with this tradition of giving. In 2013, PPWC was proud to be able to grant $63,000 to 39 non profit organizations that benefit the Palisades Community. At the Annual Grant Awards Evening these organization were revealed.


How To Apply For A Grant
We welcome requests for funding from non-profit organizations that provide services and programs that benefit the Palisades community. Please check back in September 2013 for the 2013 Grant Applications.

How do we decide which organizations will receive awards and at what amounts?
Each PPWC member is informed of the applicants and the projects they wish to fund, and an organization-wide vote takes place. Proceeds from the previous year's Holiday Home Tour and Boutique and additional fundraising efforts are awarded annually.

When do grant recipients receive their awards? The first Tuesday in March, chosen grant recipients are awarded with checks from applications received by November 1st of the previous year.
