     The grant program is especially open to the arts council, historical society, the county school system, the community college, and local clubs, organizations, churches and non-profits. The grant program is only open to Anson County entities.
     Each applicant will be eligible to receive up to $1,500. No matching funds are required to be awarded a grant.
     Grant submissions must include the following: a cover letter written on the applicant’s official letterhead that states the purpose of the grant; a budget for the overall project that includes a line item for the use of the grant money; and two letters of support.
     Applicants are asked to mail the grant submissions to: The Anson County Writers’ Club, ATTN: Grant Jury, P.O. Box 363, Wadesboro, N.C., 28170-0363.
