[Nfb-fundraising] Child Welfare Foundation Grants (for the NOPBC?)

[Everett Gavel]

Hello,

I think this one might work well for NOPBC  affiliates
or even the national organization.  It has to be a
program that covers "more than one state," after all.
A few affiliates could partner together to offer a
regional program, for this grant.  Such as the No Blind
Child Left Behind Conference this Fall in Pennsylvania.
I think the National Organization of Parents of Blind
Children falls easily under the guidelines described
below, and would be eligible for this grant.

Regards,
Everett

Legion Child Welfare Foundation Announces Availability
of
Grant Applications

Deadline: July 1, 2007 (Application Request)

The American Legion Child Welfare Foundation
 ( http://www.cwf-inc.org/ ) accepts funding proposals
from
 nonprofit organizations for projects that meet one of
the
 foundation's two basic purposes: 1) to contribute to
the
 physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual welfare of
children
 through the dissemination of knowledge about new and
innovative
 organizations and/or their programs designed to
benefit youth;
 and 2) to contribute to the physical, mental,
emotional, and
 spiritual welfare of children through the
dissemination of
 knowledge already possessed by well-established
organizations,
 to the end that such information can be more
adequately used
 by society.

Grants must have the potential of helping American
children in
 a large geographic area (more than one state).

The foundation's grants are awarded for one year. In
the past,
 grants have ranged from $1,500 to $70,000, and have
averaged
 about $32,000.

Applications are mailed to requesting organizations
from April 1
 through July 1, inclusive of the current year.
Requests received
 after July 1 will be held for the next grant year.
Deadline for
 receipt of all applications is July 15 of the current
year.
