Kraft's Nonprofit Looking For Foxborough Grant Committee Members

FOXBOROUGH, MA — The Partners in Patriotism Fund, the Kraft Group's community nonprofit arm, is looking for Foxborough residents to serve on the grants committee.

The grants committee consists of 13 town residents, who each serve a three-year term term on a volunteer basis. Committee members review grant applications and meet monthly to vote on where money is spent in their own community.

Since its inception in 2014, the Partners in Patriotism Fund has awarded nearly $420,000 in grants to the Foxborough community, including more than $118,000 to Foxborough residents in need of financial assistance. According to Kraft Group spokesman Jeremie Smith, most of the money over the last four years went to Foxborough public schools and athletic programs.

Applications to serve on the Grants Committee can be found here or in the quarter four, 2018 issue of the Partners in Patriotism newsletter. Completed applications can be submitted via email to pipfund@patriots.com or mailed to the Partners in Patriotism Fund Attorney Jess Enos, Gillette Stadium, One Patriot Place, Foxborough, MA 02035.

The board of directors expects to review applications for 2019 beginning on Jan. 17 and appoint new members by Jan. 28. The first Grants Committee meeting of the new year is expected to be held in February.
