Due to
the fact that the COVID-19 pandemic is an ongoing issue that affects in-person
attendance and has caused many organizations to switch to virtual programming,
we ask that you take this into consideration when applying for a project this
year. Also, if your application is for
an in-person project, you are REQUIRED to have a virtual back-up plan indicated
in the application. If you fail to do
this, your application will be disqualified.

The Marcy Shulman Memorial Organization Grant Program is
named in honor of one of the founding members of the Colburn-Keenan
Foundation’s Board of Directors, Marcy Shulman. Marcy was a long-time friend,
co-worker, and collaborator of the Foundation’s founders, Donald Colburn and
Kathy Ann Keenan. Marcy helped bring to fruition Don’s and Kathy’s final
project, the Colburn-Keenan Foundation, following their passing from cancer in
2006. Marcy worked tirelessly developing the support programs and fine-tuning
the mission of the Foundation, even as she battled cancer which would finally
claim her in December of 2010.
