(November 24, 2010) – CANI (Community Action of Northeast Indiana) has received a $2,500 grant from the Fifth Third Foundation to support the agency’s Quality of Life Planning Process in Waynedale.

CANI is working with the Waynedale community to reinforce its strengths and assets by increasing resident engagement, promoting neighborhood action, and establishing new and stronger relationships among grassroots organizations and businesses. The plan addresses civic, social, physical and economic growth.
The grant funding from the Fifth Third Foundation will allow CANI to make grants available to civic organization and promote these initiatives.
