Three Newton County non-profit organizations were presented grants of $5,000 each by the Newton Fund at the Georgia Wildlife Federation building on Hazelbrand Road during Wednesday’s Covington-Newton County Chamber of Commerce’s lunch link. Action Ministries, FaithWorks and Newton County Community Partnership (NCCP) all serve the local community and went through a detailed process in 2015 to obtain the grant money. In order to receive the funds, organizations had to submit a letter of intent to the Newton Fund, which goes through a selection process to determine the applicants’ eligibility.
