Hello my friend! You are doing a wonderful job here...most of them I had on file, but there are several I did not, so thank you. I am looking for environmental and educational grants by the way, and I will take whatever you will share!

Still looking for a fiscal sponsor...this is such a pain, perhaps it would be easier just to start the 501 (c) 3 application now!!!!!

Take care and thank you again...I know you are a busy lady, but you are helping, so never doubt that!

HUMANITARIAN PRIZE NOMINATION PROCESS


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The $1.5 million (U.S.) Conrad N. Hilton Humanitarian Prize is awarded annually to an organization making extraordinary contributions toward alleviating human suffering anywhere in the world.

Nominations for the 2008 Hilton Humanitarian Prize are closed and the Recipient will be announced in the Fall of 2008.

We are accepting nominations for the 2009 Prize from August 1, 2008 to November 3, 2008 from throughout the international community. An independent international panel of jurors will make the final selection; the recipient of the 2009 Prize will be announced in the fall of 2009.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nominee Eligibility

Nominees must be organizations, not individuals.
Nominees must be established, non-governmental, publicly supported charitable organizations. U.S. Internal Revenue Service tax-exempt status—or the equivalent for international organizations—will determine eligibility. (International nominees will be contacted by the Foundation for appropriate documentation.)
Nominees must be legally established for at least five years (established prior to 2004) in order to be considered.
Nominees must have an operating budget (expenditure) greater than U.S. $500,000.
An organization that has received a single grant of $1.5 million or more from the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation must wait 3 years before being eligible for nomination.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nominator Qualifications

The Nominator should have direct knowledge of the nominated organization’s work.
The Nominator may not be an officer or employee—or any other individual receiving remuneration for their services from the nominated organization. Board members may nominate providing they receive no payment for their service.
The Nominator may not be a family member of an officer or employee of the nominated organization.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Evaluation Criteria

Since the Prize is not a grant, nomination material should emphasize the organization’s accomplishments rather than future goals. Both historic and recent performance should be addressed. Following are suggested criteria to consider in describing your Nominee’s work:

Extraordinary contributions toward alleviating human suffering
Established record of achievement
Innovation in program design
Organizational capacity and administrative efficiency
Demonstration of long-term impact


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nomination Process

The Identification Sheet must be completed, signed by the nominator, and returned. If the identification sheet is submitted without a signature via e-mail, a copy must also be sent via facsimile or mail, as the signature of the nominator must be on file. If you would like to receive a hard copy of the 2009 Identification Sheet and updated nomination guidelines by mail, please email nominations@hiltonfoundation.org with your request and with your contact information.

A personal Nominating Letter in English, not to exceed five typed pages, should cite the reasons the Nominee deserves to be awarded the Hilton Humanitarian Prize. Please include or ask your nominating organization to send an annual report or brochure and the latest financial statement (in U.S. dollars). Please do not submit any additional materials such as videos, original photographs, or books, as they cannot be returned. All materials submitted must be in English.

Multiple nominations are not encouraged, although more than one person can sign a nomination letter. If more than one nomination is received for an organization, the first one received will be the nomination of record. All other nominations will be registered as letters of support; however, no more than three letters of support will be recorded.

Once the nomination has been received, the Hilton Foundation may require additional support material from the Nominee. The Foundation will contact the Nominee directly for this information.

Please note that any attempted contact with the Hilton Prize jurors about the nomination may disqualify a Nominee.

Innovation in Participatory Learning Awards support larger-scale projects that demonstrate new modes of participatory learning in a variety of environments, by creating new digital tools, modifying existing ones, or using digital media in novel ways. Collaboration is strongly encouraged. International applications are welcome from eligible organizations.

INNOVATION IN PARTICIPATORY LEARNING AWARDS
Amounts: $30,000-$250,000
Deadline: 5 pm PDT/8 pm EDT (-7 UTC/-4 UTC), October 15, 2008
About Innovation in Participatory Learning
Innovation in Participatory Learning awards are designed to support the most promising and dynamic projects that enable and enhance innovative participatory learning. These pioneering projects will demonstrate new modes of participatory learning in a variety of environments, by creating new digital tools, modifying existing ones, or using digital media in some other novel way.



Innovation in Participatory Learning Awards
Innovation in Participatory Learning awards are intended to appeal to designers of new learning environments, which might include major adaptations of existing models of gaming, world building, social networking or other virtual environments; or the development of entirely new programs. In all cases, awarded projects must demonstrate a strong commitment to making possible new ways of valuable participatory learning, as opposed to simply creating new content.

Innovation in Participatory Learning awards are for large-scale projects that will typically involve teams of collaborators. These awards, particularly those with the largest budgets, will go primarily to institutional projects rather than to individuals.

Collaboration is strongly encouraged (though not required) in the Innovation in Participatory Learning award category. International collaborations are particularly welcome, provided that the primary applicant meets eligibility requirements.



Innovation in Participatory Learning Details
Awards will range from $30,000 to $250,000. Up to $1.8 million will be awarded in total.

To be eligible, primary applicants must be institutions or organizations registered in Canada, India, Japan, Mexico, The Netherlands, Nigeria, The People's Republic of China, Russia, Singapore, South Africa, the United Kingdom, or the United States. Since international eligibility is being piloted for this Competition, eligible countries are those with which the HASTAC Competition administrators or MacArthur have familiarity based on their respective experiences. It is anticipated that future Competitions will include broader international eligibility in one or more application categories.

Legal U.S. residents whose principal place of residence is in the U.S. are eligible to apply as individuals.

In all cases, regardless of the award amount, the grant term is one year beginning between June 1, 2009 and September 1, 2009.

Only a small number of the most outstanding projects will be considered for maximum funding levels. Budgets will be scrutinized as part of the selection process. Applicants are advised to submit realistic, moderate budgets.

Budgets may include the costs of project staff, technological consultants, software, hardware, meetings, travel, and up to 15% indirect costs to be calculated on direct costs. Applicants are also required to budget for airfare (or other transportation), transfers, lodging and meals for a two-day “showcase” event in Chicago to be held at the end of the grant term.

All potential applicants should read the complete Guidelines before applying.
