Fwd: [greatlakesnews] Webinar: 2012 grant opportunities through Sustain Our Great Lakes

[Colin Brooks]

Hi TNCC members & friends - 

I'm going to sit through this Sustain Our Great Lakes funding webinar to see if there is any opportunity for Thurston Pond restoration to fit into their priority areas.  Thought other people would want to know (note that it starts 10 am CST = 11 am EST, and you have to register to "attend" the webinar).

Subject: [greatlakesnews] Webinar: 2012 grant opportunities through Sustain Our Great Lakes

Please join us for a webinar on January 11, 2012 to learn about the 2012 grant funding opportunities to be offered through Sustain Our Great Lakes. 

On January 3, 2012, Sustain Our Great Lakes will invite applications for competitive funding through its Stewardship Grants Program and its Community Grants Program.  The Requests for Proposals will be available on January 3 at www.sustainourgreatlakes.org.  Funding priority for both programs will be given to on-the-ground restoration projects that improve the quality and connectivity of stream, wetland and coastal habitats in the Great Lakes basin.  Pre-proposals will be due on February 15, 2012.  

Webinar participants will learn about funding priorities and the application process, see examples of past projects, receive tips for submitting competitive proposals, and have the opportunity to ask questions.  The webinar will begin at 11 AM Eastern Time/10 AM Central Time and last for approximately 1 hour.
