  Changes & Updates to Cameron Foundation Grant Programs   
 
        In June 2013, The Cameron Foundation announced changes to its competitive grant program.  Specifically, the number of annual grant cycles will be reduced from three to two. As a result, 2014 will see community grants awarded in June and October.  As well, the Foundation's seven funding interests have been consolidated into six and the priorities within each area have been clarified.
