2003 Call for Proposals- Grants available for community-based collaborations working to resolve conflicts over use of natural resources in the rural West.

The Resources for Community Collaboration (RCC), a project of the Sonoran
Institute, invites interested organizations to submit proposals in support
of community-based collaborations working to resolve conflicts over use of
natural resources in the rural West.

In 2003, RCC will provide grants, up to $10,000 each, to provide seed money
for organizations involved in community based collaborations. Grants are
made to groups engaged, or preparing to engage, in collaborations that:

1) Develop solutions for long-term protection, sustainable use or
restoration of natural landscapes in the rural West;

2) Are viable, healthy processes that include key stakeholders
and utilize good decision making; and

3) Are supported and sustained by community leaders.

Organizations interested in applying should visit http://www.rccproject.org for a
complete set of grant guidelines and application, or email [email protected]
to request application materials.

2003. Applicants may submit via mail if email is not available (postmark
deadline of April 11, 2003).
