Before getting to this week's funding opportunities...this is my 100th blog post for Grantwriter's Blog! I hope that those of you who follow the blog regularly have learned some tidbits from the articles or editorials I've posted and enjoy getting a wide variety of new funding opportunities delivered to your inbox every week! To celebrate my 100th post, I'd like to offer 100 minutes of DH Leonard Consulting services as a thank you to the first organization to share the blog via Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter who then leaves a comment, emails me, or calls the office to let me know that you've passed this blog on as a resource to your colleagues.
Now on to the weekly funding opportunities...
Below are funding opportunities of interest that I have
learned about/received RFP notifications about in the past week that I wanted
to share.
Children
The American Academy of Dermatology's shade structure grant program
awards grants up to $8,000 each for the purchase of permanent shade
structures designed to provide shade and ultraviolet (UV) ray protection for
outdoor areas. The AAD also provides a permanent sign to be displayed near the
shade structure. The AAD receives support for this program through its members.
To be considered for future grants, applicants must:
- Be a
nonprofit organization or public school that primarily serves children and
teens who are 18 and younger.
- Demonstrate
an ongoing commitment to sun safety and skin cancer awareness by having a
sun safety/skin cancer awareness program in place for at least one year
prior to application.
- Be
recommended by an AAD member dermatologist.
Environment
** Notice – Application will be released on January 3, 2011 . Information about the upcoming application
that will be released and the webinar that is scheduled for Januay, 2012.
Wetlands, streams and coastal
habitats are vital to life in the Great Lakes basin. By
providing services essential for sustaining human health, wildlife
populations, and commerce and industry, they nurture our families, communities
and economies.
Through a unique public-private
partnership, Sustain
Our Great Lakes works to
restore, protect and preserve the fragile habitats and ecosystems that form the
world’s largest freshwater system. Partnering with conservation organizations,
governments and groups on the local level, we support programs dedicated to
protecting and restoring the Great Lakes watershed.
Together, we will help keep this resource healthy for future generations.
Health
Deadline: January
27, 2012
The
purpose of this program is to address significant disparities in Perinatal
health including disparities experienced by Hispanics, American Indians,
African-Americans, Asian/Pacific Islanders, and immigrant
populations. Differences in perinatal health indicators may occur by
virtue of education, age of mother, income, disability, or living in
rural/isolated areas. To address disparities and the factors
contributing to them in these indicators, it is anticipated that the proposed
scope of project services will cover the pregnancy and interconception phases
for women and infants residing in the proposed project area. In
order to promote longer interconception periods and prevent relapses of risk
behaviors, the woman and infant are to be followed through the infant's second
year of life and/or two years following delivery.
Land
Deadline: February
1, 2012
Conserving Ecologically Valuable
Land
Urban sprawl, resource extraction,
and poorly enforced environmental regulations place enormous pressures on
natural resources. Natural areas need a combination of land protections and
sustainable use policies to ensure clean air, clean water, and sustainability.
The geographic focus of this area will be the southeastern United
States Southern
Appalachians and the states of Tennessee North Carolina Kentucky South Carolina Georgia Virginia
Making Paper Production Sustainable
Paper production is a highly toxic,
carbon-emitting, water-intensive, and forest-reliant industry. There are a
number of ways to improve the environmental impact of the sector. The goal is
to increase the rates of recycled paper in large paper sectors, reduce sourcing
from endangered forests, and maximize clean production.
Promoting Energy Efficiency
The cheapest and fastest way to reduce
demand for electric power is through energy efficiency. In order to maximize
the carbon and financial savings, a combination of motivational factors are
needed for implementation including low cost, simplicity, accessibility, and
regulatory oversight. The goal is to support state and regional policies in the
Northeast and Southeast that provide incentives and subsidies for energy
efficiency implementation.
Youth
Deadline: January
30, 2012
The
Upward Bound (UB) Program is one of the seven programs known as the Federal
TRIO Programs. The UB Program is a discretionary grant program that supports
projects designed to provide the skills and motivation necessary to complete a
program of secondary education and to enter and succeed in a program of
postsecondary education. There are three types of grants under the UB Program:
Regular UB grants; Veterans UB grants; and UB Math and Science grants. This
notice only announces deadlines and other information for regular UB grants.
Please feel free to pass this listing along to your
