Two programs for nonprofits serving residents of the Boyertown area have an application deadline of August 16, 2021:
- The Boyertown Area Charitable Program provides grants to organizations, programs, or initiatives that improve the quality of life for the residents of the Boyertown Area School District.
- The Boyertown Community Center, Inc.
