[Sqg-program] Community Action for a Renewed Environment (CARE) grant soliciation - Deadline April 9, 2007

[Perrigan, Glen]

Grant opportunity. See description below and link to more information. The
grants will range from 100-300k.

Description
This notice announces the availability of funds and solicits proposals for
financial assistance to eligible entities through the Community for a Renewed
Environment (CARE) program. CARE is a unique community-based,
community-driven, multimedia demonstration program designed to help
communities understand and reduce risks due to toxics and environmental
pollutants from all sources. The CARE grant program will help communities
form collaborative partnerships, develop a comprehensive understanding of the
many sources of risk from toxics and environmental pollutants, set
priorities, and identify and carry out projects to reduce risks through
collaborative action at the local level. CARE's long-term goal is to help
communities build self-sustaining, community-based partnerships that will
continue to improve human health and local environments into the future. This
is the third year requesting proposals for the CARE grant program; the first
was in the spring of 2005. The objective of the CARE grant program is to
investigate the effectiveness of the CARE process--whether this cross-Agency,
multi-media program provides greater environmental benefits than either
non-collaborative or single media approaches.
