Grants from the local area foundation have helped build the communities of the Boundary since 1997. This year the Phoenix Foundation of the Boundary Communities was able to grant about $15,000 across the region aiding local organizations to create change.
 
At their annual community social, recently held in Greenwood, two of the grant recipients gave an overview of their projects. Heather Buzzell, director of the Grand Forks and District Public Library, gave a humorous presentation about the development of a place for youth in their library.
