"Narrowing down the shortlist to just six entries per county was more difficult than expected, because of the sheer volume of viable projects. It was inspiring to see how many ordinary Jamaicans are making a positive impact in their communities, even with limited resources," remarked D&G Foundation Director Dianne Ashton-Smith. "As soon as we opened the competition, applications came flooding in. Entrants also had to demonstrate the progress achieved so far and the ability to begin expanding their project before the end of 2022. To be eligible for '6 for 60' funding, all projects must have started at least three months before the entry date. The competition will award two entries from each county $1 million in grants to expand community development initiatives focused on sport, environmental conservation, education, or culture. The initiative '6 for 60' was launched in August as part of the Foundation celebration of Jamaica 60. Public voting to select six competition finalists via the D&G Foundation social media pages will close on October 14, 2022.
