The Ben and Myrtle Walkling Memorial Trust is accepting applications for grants to be awarded in 2025.

The trust awards grants to encourage new civic and charitable projects to benefit citizens of Port Angeles and Clallam County.

For applications, send a self-addressed, stamped envelope to The Ben and Myrtle Walkling Memorial Trust, PO Box 1588, Port Angeles, WA 98362.

Submit completed applications by Sept. 30.

Requests to fund organizational budgets or to pay for existing or ongoing projects are not likely to be approved, trust representatives said.

Myrtle Walkling, who died in 1992, created the trust in her will and funded it with more than $1 million. It was her intent, trust overseers note, that the income from the trust be used for charitable and civic projects that otherwise might not happen.
