The Storey Kenworthy Foundation for Giving announced that it will begin offering community grants this year, with four $2,500 grants to be awarded. Lincoln Dix, vice president of sales and director of philanthropy for the Des Moines-based office furniture and supplies company, said the foundation has been in existence for several years and has now grown enough to begin making grants. Overseen by the Community Foundation of Greater Des Moines, the grant program will focus on three primary areas of interest: veterans’ affairs, children and education, and medical research. “Our focus is on programming, to apply dollars toward specific programs that will have a direct benefit on the community,” Dix said. The deadline for applications is Aug. 31; awards will be made in late December. For more information, visit the foundation website.
