Fresno State program awards grants to community organizations

Fresno State philanthropy students on Monday awarded $15,000 in grants to three Fresno community benefit organizations to help fund programs that will enrich the community.

The recipients are: Warnors Center for the Performing Arts, which will use the money for professional development and training; Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Central Valley, which will use the grant for its “Happy Wheels Cart Program”; and Lowell Community Development Corporation, which will hold tenant education workshops this summer. Each organization received $5,000.
