Dear Friends,
Every year, at our anniversary dinner, the Long Island Ravens MC distributes grants from our charitable and memorial funds to organizations that work with the Long Island GBLT community.

The purpose of our charitable fund is “to aid organizations supportive of the purposes of the Long Island Ravens M.C., including, but not limited to, organizations providing AIDS/HIV care and support.” We are especially interested in aiding grass roots organizations that provide direct support to individuals in the GBLT community on Long Island, and groups not usually supported by larger fund granting organizations. Our funds are limited (typically a few hundred dollars to each group supported), so we want to see them go where they will do the most good.

If you are interested in a grant this year, please fill out the enclosed application and mail it back to us. The grants committee will be meeting early in March, so we must receive your application by March 5th, 2016. All awards will be announced at our 24th Anniversary Dinner Saturday, March 19th, 2016 and all awardees must be present at the dinner to collect their charitable donation. Should you have any question, please feel free to contact me, and I will be happy to assist you.

Michael Conley
President, LIRMC, Inc.
