The Sunrise County Economic Council in Washington County has received a $10,000 grant from the King & Jean Cummings Charitable Trust through the Maine Community Foundation.

The grant will be used to fund an endowment to continue the council’s grass-roots campaign for economic development in Washington County.

The council is involved in a campaign to fund a $1.1 million endowment to provide the security it needs to weather the ups and downs of state and federal funding.
