The Permanent Endowment for Martha’s Vineyard is accepting applications for its fall grant cycle. “The Permanent Endowment is introducing a new application form this cycle,” said Anne Williamson, chairman of the Permanent Endowment. “It’s shorter, simpler and can be both completed and submitted online. We hope this will make the application process easier for Island nonprofits and we look forward to learning about the programs and projects being planned by organizations working throughout our community.”
