From our last newsletter:
National Park Foundation Impact Grants
 The National Park Foundation recognizes that sometimes the smallest grants can make the largest differences. The Impact Grants opportunity, awards of $10,000 or less, is designed to help parks that need a small amount of additional funding to strengthen the efforts of a local partnership or turn an underfunded and innovative idea into a successful project. The program also provides a systematic way for the Foundation to respond to the routine small grant requests that are received from national parks by making awards on an annual basis.
Application deadline: October 1, 2010. Click for the online application Questions? Contact Ivan Levin at 202/354-6479 or ilevin@nationalparks.org. NOTE: New Eligibility Information The National Park Foundation is pleased to announce that it is accepting applications from ALL National Park System units, affiliated areas, regional, service and program offices, National Heritage Areas, National Wild and Scenic Rivers, National Historic Landmarks and National Trails to participate in all National Park Foundation grant programs. Although applications must be submitted by a National Park Service staff person, successful parks may direct a grant to a partner organization for a collaborative project. This program is funded by the National Park Foundation. The award is meant to be a one-time gift with no expectation of repeat funding. Past grantees are encouraged to reapply for funding to support new projects or needs that have materialized since their last grant award. |
