Eagle Bluff Environmental Learning Center in Lanesboro was chosen to be a part of the Rochester Area Foundation’s 75th Anniversary Community Choice Grants Program for the month of March. The theme for March was Sustainability and the non-profit with the most votes would receive the top grant of $1,500 to support their programming. There were five environmental nonprofits competing for the top prize and community voting decided the winner.
Eagle Bluff marketing manager Joe Goetzke said, “We were excited to be chosen to be a part of this great grant program by the Rochester Area Foundation in celebration of their 75th anniversary of doing good in the community. We were in the running alongside four other amazing nonprofits and were thrilled to be chosen as the winner of the lead grant. We’ve got some really cool projects in the works and this grant money will do good things towards our mission of empowering people to care for the earth and each other.”
