Soroptimist International of South Lake Tahoe has $25,000 to give to local nonprofits.

SISLT’s goal is to fund quality projects that serve clearly identified needs of women and children in the South Shore community. They will consider new programs, improvements and enhancements to current programs, as well as supporting programs that have been proven effective in bettering the lives of women and children in the community.

Grants between $5,000 and $25,000 will be awarded to no more than five nonprofit organizations.

The application period is open through October. For more information, email sisltfoundation@gmail.com.
