As a family business, The Republic 's roots ran deep in the community, and the company is committed to continuing its strong role as a philanthropic leader under Gannett's ownership. Gannett will continue the relationship with the McCormick Foundation, though the amount of the match dollars may be reduced.
Deadlines vary by program area.
The new application information packet was mailed in late January to previous grantees. Corporate dollars will continue to support areas not supported by the Foundation. Kristi recommends that agencies put together a complete package reflecting all their anticipated funding needs for the year, and arrange to meet with Republic staff to discuss opportunities for corporate support. Kristi says The Republic is always looking for opportu- nities to blend resources from a number of different sources to create major community impact. One new resource that Gannett offers is employee matching funds.
