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 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.
