Cornelia Warren Community Association Project Funding Request

The Cornelia Warren Community Association was established in 1925 and charged with managing funds for the benefit of the citizens of Westbrook, Maine, for purposes including education, recreation, the promotion of social welfare, and supporting other corporations with a similar purpose. The Association's general practice is to provide MATCHING funds for 'bricks and mortar' projects. It prefers to contribute to physical projects, not engineering or exploratory costs; it almost always provides matching funds and requires the applicant to have other contribution commitments from fundraising, other organizations, or a combination; and it asks that the project recognize the Association and promote the name of Cornelia Warren through publicity, signage, etc. Past projects include the veterans' memorial in Riverbank Park, the skating rink on Lincoln Street, the warming hut at the Stroudwater Armory, funding for the Mission Possible Teen Center, and defibrillators for the Westbrook Rescue. The Association has 'few formal requirements' and evaluates projects against the guidelines above. The Grantable roster records this funder's state as FL, but the funder's own page gives its location as Westbrook, Maine — the page evidence is used here.
