The Rhinelander Area Community Foundation (RCF) has announced its 2023 grant recipients.

A total of $33,976 was awarded to 13 qualified local organizations who submitted applications to the RCF Board of Directors, according to an RCF press release.

An additional $5,000 will be distributed to the Town Line Lake Park ADA Kayak Launch, a grant that was approved in 2022 with a contingency, the release notes.

The grants will be awarded at the Rhinelander Chamber of Commerce "Business After 5" event to be held on April 19 at the Rhinelander Country Club.
