Non-profit organizations that work to improve the quality of life of people living in poverty have until noon today to apply for grants from a 180-year-old trust established by Ebenezer Knight Dexter.

The Dexter Donation is offering grants up of to $2,000 to cover program expansions or new projects.

Bring seven copies of the applications to the Board of Commissioners of the Dexter Donation, C/o Providence City Clerk, 25 Dorrance St., in Providence.
