Grants Committee
The mission of the Grants Committee is to oversee and administer the Old Town Triangle Association (OTTA) grant program, which provides support to schools and non-profit organizations serving our community. The Committee works to advance the mission and goals of OTTA through strategic and responsible grantmaking.
Grant Cycle Update
Due to capital improvements undertaken to maintain and enhance OTTA’s physical facility, the grant cycle has been delayed to better align with the organization’s current financial resources, ensure long-term sustainability and allow the program to continue serving the community effectively.
