Application Deadline Extended for 'Spring for Hope' Grants for Non-Profits

LAKE PLACID, NY (11/18/2013)(readMedia)-- Responding to requests for more time, High Peaks Resort in Lake Placid extended the application period for its third annual Spring For Hope? initiative, a unique opportunity for non-profit organizations to be awarded free use of meeting space, accommodations, and more at the beautiful Adirondack resort. The new deadline is December 6th at 5pm; winners will be announced on December 19th. The application is easy and support is available from Spring for Hope staff.

This opportunity will give two non-profit organizations free use of the entire resort for three days during April 2014. Included are two nights' accommodations (up to 133 rooms), free meeting space (up to 10,000 square feet), free audiovisual and meeting support services, and 50 percent off all related catering services.

"This is an outstanding opportunity for the winning organizations to do whatever they want with our gift. In the past, winners held fundraisers, hosted academic symposia and offered an R&R retreat to returning veterans. Other ideas include a thank you trip to staff and volunteers to planning an annual meeting or strategic planning retreat. We welcome their creative ideas," noted Bob Trotter, General Manager of High Peaks Resort. "The quality of life in upstate New York is directly impacted by the quality of our non-profit organizations. Spring for Hope has been a way to recognize them and add support to help strengthen the quality of their organizations and deliver on their missions."
