Proposals that include constituent participation will receive particular attention. Planning grants are for a 6-month period March 1, 2010, to August 30, 2010. Individual grant requests should not exceed $15,000. Implementation GrantsOrganizations with successful completion of planning activities may submit a proposal for an implementation grant which will support assessment data gathering activities and the development of an organizational plan with specific goals, objectives and supporting activities. Preference will be given to those applications that demonstrate how diversity and inclusion are integrated into the organizational strategic vision. The application process for implementation grants begins on September 15, 2010, with a completion deadline of October 1, 2010.
