Tourism Cares' Worldwide Grant Program distributes charitable grants to worthy tourism-related nonprofit organizations worldwide for capital improvements or programs.

The program's primary consideration is to fund projects and programs whose goal is capital ("brick-and-mortar") improvements that serve to protect, restore, or conserve sites of exceptional cultural, historic, or natural significance; or the education of local host communities and the traveling public about the conservation and preservation of sites of exceptional cultural, historical, or natural significance.

Program grants average $10,000 each; however, based on availability of funds, grants of up to $100,000 each will be considered. The 2008 Worldwide Grant Program goals call for a balanced distribution of grants to U.S. and non-U.S. recipients.

The Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan Foundation is seeking Letters of Interest from Michigan physicians and members of the research community interested in preventing the three leading causes of death in Michigan: heart disease, cancer, and stroke.

The purpose of this initiative is to increase the use of evidence-based prevention efforts to improve the health of Michigan residents. The initiative will support projects designed to increase compliance with primary prevention efforts and/or increase adherence to clinical guidelines aimed at clinical prevention.

Consideration will be given to applications that incorporate one or more of the following strategies: target high-risk subgroups of the population; utilize intervention based on U.S. Preventive Services Task Force Guidelines; and inclusion of a cost-effectiveness analysis for the intervention, if applicable, in addition to an evaluation of the effectiveness of the intervention.

The National Endowment for the Arts and the Graduate School of Journalism at Columbia University have announced the fifth NEA Arts Journalism Institute in Classical Music and Opera.

The institute, which will take place November 8-18, 2008, at Columbia University, is part of a series of NEA-funded programs across the country that focus on improving arts criticism in classical music, opera, theater, and dance. The institutes are intended to help establish the importance of professional training in the coverage of the arts through lectures and seminars with leaders in higher education, the arts, and journalism. The programs are designed for print and broadcast journalists located primarily outside the largest media markets, where professional development opportunities are limited.

The Fund for Creative Communities is part of the New York State Council on the Arts' statewide decentralization program, a community arts regrant program. The Lower Manhattan Cultural Council administers the fund for the borough of Manhattan.

The fund supports small and mid-sized nonprofit organizations that provide high-quality local arts programs. The fund also seeks to increase access to arts and cultural activities in neighborhoods throughout Manhattan and to encourage new arts activities in communities where the need exists.

Grants ranging from $750 to $5,000 each will be awarded to nonprofit organizations and to artists applying through a fiscal sponsor for arts projects with a public component that will benefit Manhattan communities. Through the fund, LMCC awards approximately $300,000 each year. In the grant program's most recent cycle, the program awarded eighty-four grants to enable projects in neighborhoods from Washington Heights to the Battery.

At the WomenRule! Leadership Training we learned how important it was for women to ASK. Professor Linda Babcock provided an enlightening training and discussion on why we women "don’t ask" and why we need to "ask." Many of us on this website are directors of nonprofit organizations, social entrepreneurs and presidents of major organizations. To keep an organization solvent it is important to continually research funding possibilities and to keep the income flow steady. I want to be the first to share with you resources and information to come my way because I believe that women who share are women who prosper (in more ways than one.) If you are a WHP leader who has information, tips and encouraging information --please by all means SHARE.
