The Special Projects Fund is intended to provide seed funding for initiatives of the RC&D Councils of New England. This year, three seed grants of $500 each are being made available to kick-start projects in the following areas:

2) Feeding New England
If you have a project that would qualify, please review and fill out the attached special projects application form (word doc) (along with attachments as described) and return them to Mark Cummings, King's Mark RC&D Coordinator, no later than June 1, 2009.
Decisions on these Special Projects grants will be made by then end of June, and funding will be available in early August. Please contact me if you have any questions on this. Thanks!
