Delaware Estuary Grants

The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, in partnership with the Delaware Estuary Program, is pleased to announce the 2004 Delaware Estuary Grants Program. This program will provide grants of up to $25,000 to organizations working on a local level to protect and improve watersheds in the Delaware Estuary, while building citizen-based resource stewardship. Preference will be given to projects that: 1) demonstrate measurable ecological or environmental benefits resulting from completion of the project; 2) include specific provisions for long-term management and protection, as appropriate; and 3) include education, training, and public outreach components to enhance the benefits of the project. Please visit the Foundation's website at http://www.nfwf.org/programs/delaware.htm for additional information about the Delaware Estuary Grants Program and to obtain copies of the 2004 Request for Proposals and Application Form. Applications must be postmarked no later than June 7, 2004.
