Below are funding opportunities of interest that I have
learned about/received RFP notifications about in the past week that I wanted
to share.
Agriculture
Deadline:
The
purpose of CIG is to stimulate the development and adoption of innovative
conservation approaches and technologies, while leveraging the Federal
investment in environmental enhancement and protection in conjunction with
agricultural production. CIG projects are expected to lead to the transfer of
conservation technologies, management systems, and innovative approaches into
NRCS policy, technical manuals, guides, and references, or to the private
sector. CIG does not fund research projects. Projects intended to test
hypotheses do not qualify for a CIG grant. CIG is used to apply or demonstrate
previously proven technology. It is a vehicle to stimulate development and
adoption of conservation approaches or technologies thathave been studied
sufficiently to indicate a high likelihood of success, and that are a candidate
for eventual technology transfer or institutionalization.
Arts
**An
organization may submit only one application through one of the following FY
2013 Grants for Arts Projects categories: Art Works or Challenge America
Fast-Track.
NEA – Challenge America
Deadline:
May 24, 2012
The
Arts Endowment's support of a project may start on or after January 1, 2013 . The Challenge America
Fast-Track category offers support primarily to small and mid-sized organizations
for projects that extend the reach of the arts to underserved populations --
those whose opportunities to experience the arts are limited by geography,
ethnicity, economics, or disability. Age alone (e.g., youth, seniors) does not
qualify a group as underserved; at least one of the underserved characteristics
noted above also must be present. Grants are available for professional arts
programming and for projects that emphasize the potential of the arts in
community development. This category encourages and supports the following two
outcomes: •Engagement: Engaging the public with diverse and excellent art.
•Livability: The strengthening of communities through the arts.
NEA GAP – Arts Works
Deadline:
March 8, 2012
The
Arts Endowment's support of a project may start on or after January 1, 2013 . The NEA's guiding principle
is embodied in one sentence: "Art works." "Art works" is a
noun; the creation of works of art by artists. "Art works" is a verb;
art works on and within people to change and inspire them. "Art
works" is a statement; arts jobs are real jobs that are part of the real
economy. Art Works encourages and supports the following four outcomes:
•Creation: The creation of art that meets the highest standards of excellence,
•Engagement: Public engagement with diverse and excellent art, •Learning:
Lifelong learning in the arts, and •Livability: The strengthening of
communities through the arts.
Employment
Deadline: February
3, 2012 (Concept Paper)
Signature Employment Grants are
awarded nationally to fund new pilot initiatives, demonstration projects
or social ventures that lead to the generation of new ideas to solve the
high unemployment and underemployment of individuals with
disabilities. Preference is given for interventions that overcome specific
employment barriers related to long-term dependence on public assistance,
advance competitive employment in a cost-effective manner, or
launch a social enterprise or individual entrepreneurship project.
Signature grants are not intended to fund project expansions or bring proven
projects to new communities, unless there is a significant scale, scope or
replicable component. Innovation lies at the core of all signature employment
grants.
