Your income cannot exceed $63,000 if your household consists of one person, or $90,850 for households of two or more.

To receive the grant, you must obtain the matching funds that are needed to complete your project. These funds can come from a variety of sources: your savings, a gift from your family, a loan from either a bank or a community/neighborhood development corporation.

Changing Seasonality in the Arctic System
Funding Opportunity Number: 08-567
Please refer to the full announcement for detailed information on eligibility requirements.
This solicitation is for research aimed at understanding changing seasonality in the arctic system. There now exists abundant evidence that pervasive changes are underway in the patterns of seasonality in the Arctic. The timing and dynamics of key events such as spring melt and fall freeze-up are shifting in response to a changing arctic climate, impacting the interconnected physical, biological, and human components and processes of the arctic system. Interdisciplinary proposals are sought that employ field studies, retrospective investigation, modeling, or synthesis to explore how changes in succession (here, the sequence, nature, and timing of critical seasonal events, to include but not be limited to ecological succession) affect the linkages between, and feedbacks among, components and processes of the arctic system, thus altering the characteristics and functioning of the system as a whole.

America's vastly diverse faith community is active at the national and local levels, within Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, interfaith and other settings. Collaborations across faith communities have a rich history of working together for social change. They successfully have advanced policies that improve the health and wellness of communities, and their growing role in prompting policy and triggering action is evident across all states. Faith-based coalitions have been at the forefront of local and state efforts on social issues such as homelessness, tobacco use, hunger and poverty. Today, there is emerging energy among faith-based coalitions to advocate for improved food, nutrition and environmental policies.
Through this solicitation, RWJF is interested in supporting faith-based coalitions to advance community policies or environmental changes that improve access to healthy foods and/or opportunities for physical activity. We are particularly interested in efforts that reach children at greatest risk for obesity, including African-American, Latino, Native American, Asian American and Pacific Islander children who live in low-income communities or communities with limited access to affordable healthy foods and/or safe opportunities for physical activity.

Fourth district Councilman Mark Hitchcock held a neighborhood meeting Thursday night. But this time, it was opened up to all city residents, and included the city's Community Development Department.
Community Development provides different types of grants for property owners looking to make home repairs and make their neighborhoods better places to live. But it's not always utiltized as much as it could be.

Two Sampson County hog farms and a company developing technology to convert hog waste to fertilizer, potting soil and other marketable products received $500,000 grants to install innovative systems, state environmental officials said Wednesday.
Super Soil Systems USA Inc., Tyndall Hog & Chicken Farm Inc. and Pope & Son -- all from Sampson County -- were awarded grants under a new state program to foster innovation in handling hog waste. Such waste is a source of air and water pollution.
North Carolina is the nation's second-largest hog producer. It's estimated that the state is home to 10 million swine on about 2,300 farms, most of them in Eastern North Carolina.

It's been just over two years since Logan-Rogersville High School planted 75 trees around the campus, and the results of those efforts are in bloom - and leaf.
The trees were provided, in part, through a Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) grant, and MDC urban forester Cindy Garner has worked with the school, providing guidance on pruning and disease, said LRHS teacher Andrew Kinslow, one of the project's coordinators.
The school started the application for a Tree Resource Improvement and Maintenance (TRIM) grant in January 2006.
