Wednesday, November 7, Grant Opportunities. Most have a November 15 Deadline which is coming soon.

I have observed faculty applying sunscreen to students before going outdoors. In addition to strengthening or developing a relationship with a local organization, if the organization you recommend is selected as a recipient of the grant, your support will be recognized in numerous ways.
