ALT The Great Hearts Community is gearing up for its 2023 Great Hearts Giving Tuesday Award. On November 28th, twenty non-profit organizations will be eligible to receive up to $1,000 each in grant funding. Great Hearts has more worthy organizations than available awards so there will be a vote-off. We need your help to make CBCM one of those organizations.
