Five Star Restoration Challenge Grants Announced for FY01
DEADLINE: MARCH 2, 2001
On December 1, the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, in cooperation
with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the National Marine
Fisheries Service and other sponsors, announced the Five-Star Restoration
Challenge Grant Program. An outgrowth of the Administration's Clean Water
Action Plan, the Five-Star Program provides modest financial assistance
on
a competitive basis to support community-based wetland and riparian
restoration projects that build diverse partnerships and foster local
natural resource stewardship. In 2000, the second year of the program, 59
projects were awarded grants of on average $10,000 out of approximately
200
applications received. Visit http://nfwf.org/5star-rfp.htm for guidelines
and instructions on how to apply. Additional information, including
factsheets, previous new releases, and brief descriptions of projects
funded
in past years can be found at
