RE: Opportunity for Funding of Mini-Grants
DATE: Spring 2005
Lisle is excited to announce our 2005 Mini-Grant Program ($500-$3000) to support projects which
foster the goals of Lisle. We welcome applications.
This year, our focus is to assist projects which are consonant with Lisle's mission:
Lisle is committed to broadening the ideal of a global community and increasing the appreciation of all cultures. It does so by bringing together persons of diverse religious, cultural, sexual, political, and racial backgrounds to interact with each other, and to reflect upon their experiences. Lisle is committed to an educational process which emphasizes cooperative, democratic leadership and participation.
- Lisle supports organizations and individuals that demonstrate diverse cultural and racial decision-making, planning, and administration. Lisle supports intercultural learning experiences in which participants enhance their communication skills, discover greater tolerance for different ideas, and gain greater respect for all life. Lisle supports projects that result in resolving conflicts, community building, and increased self-knowledge."
- Project proposal applications should be submitted to the Lisle office by September 1st, 2005. Key required elements contained in the application include: An identified "Lisle Mentor;" a description of the project; a clear budget; specific goals and objectives; a time-line for the project; and a specified self-evaluation process.
- Awarding of mini-grants will be accomplished in time to be announced at the Lisle Annual Meeting in October 2005.
