New Grant Research Available to All Councils
In response to Council's requests, the NARC&DC announced in August
of 2002 a new program that is designed to assist councils in finding
potential sources of funding. This new program is called The Grant
Resource Center (GR Center). Currently, the program is helping Councils
find various sources of funding and/or information on potential funders.
To date, over sixty requests were received and over 300 different
potential funders were identified and sent to those Councils requesting
the information. The possibility of funding projects is limitless.
Projects have varied from seed money to start up a nature walk, to funding
for an abuse prevention facility.
This service is available to all councils and is easy to use. Send your
request to the National Office or email us at
grant information. Your
request should include the location where the funding is needed (including
the city, county, and state), a short description of the project, the name
of the requesting council, and the target audience of the project.
Don't miss out on the chance to help your Council find needed funds. If
you have any questions, please contact the National Office at 202-434-4780.
Grant Funding Opportunities Delivered to You Weekly Free of Charge.
At the request of Council's across the nation, on December 3, 2002, the
National Office was pleased to roll out the Grant Station Insider. The
Grant Station Insider is a weekly newsletter, for Councils, that will help
you stay informed of possible funding sources for wide variety of your
projects. For those whom are already receiving the newsletter, the
National Office hopes it serves your council's information needs. For
those who have not received the newsletter, just E-mail Andrew Gordon
at agordon@sso.org and request a
subscription to the Grant Station Insider. You should receive your first
copy the first Tuesday after requesting a subscription. From then on, the
Grant Station Insider will be distributed to your email box every Tuesday
morning. The National Office hopes this weekly newsletter will be an asset
to your organization and enable you to "make things happen!"
