BNY Mellon Wealth Management is accepting applications for grants from the Ernest Q. Johnson Trust, a fund established to support organizations providing activities for Canonsburg area youths.

Johnson, a Canonsburg native, established the fund to honor the memory of his parents, John G. and Annie K. M. Johnson, stipulating “income from the trust is to be distributed to such charitable, religious or educational organizations that promote the youth of Canonsburg and its immediate vicinity.”

Applications must be postmarked by Tuesday, April 15. BNY Mellon Wealth Management will announce the recipients and make disbursements in May.

To apply, organizations must provide a proposal in letter form requesting a specific dollar amount for a special project or for general support, as well as their most recent financial statement and their IRS 501(c)3 tax determination letter.

Proposals should be mailed to: Ernest Q. Johnson Trust, Laurie A. Moritz, BNY Mellon, 500 Grant St. – Suite 3825, Pittsburgh, PA 15258-0001.
