Preliminary letters by May 1 and November 1.

Full proposals by June 1 and December 1.

Funding decisions will be made in July and January.

Preferences will be given to community based, collaborative, and coalition projects involving a number of organizations working together to share strengths and to maximize effectiveness. In general, grants will not be given to established well-funded national organizations. Capital funding will usually not be considered. Non U.S. based organizations are fully eligible for granting.
