This year the Merrimack Valley YMCA hosted the Second Annual Innovate for Impact Virtual Mini-Grant Awards Night. Over the past several weeks, a series of workshops were offered to staff members, who were invited to submit their proposals and make a pitch around a new program idea or enhancement of a current program. In all, the judges listened to eight pitches and a total of five programs were awarded mini-grants, totaling $10,000 to help get their program ideas launched.
