Due to the Foundation's efforts to remain flexible to needs in the community, we opened the competitive grants process one month earlier this year. We are aware that current grantees with grants ending April 30, 2012 may have a one month overlap if funded in this cycle, with grants beginning April 1, 2012. You are eligible to apply.
