River Network's 2002 Watershed Assistance Grants Available-- Apply by 
19!

River Network is once again teaming up with EPA to disperse Watershed 
Assistance Grants to watershed groups across the country working on 
creating and implementing partnerships to improve their watershed. The 
grant process is highly competitive, but Network members are encouraged 
to apply for these grants which range from $1500 to $30,000 per project.

Go to:  http://www.rivernetwork.org/howwecanhelp/howwag_2002cri.cfm for 
more information and for an application form.

Please be sure to read all of the information completely before taking 
time to prepare a proposal and application. See especially the 
self-evaluation section, the background information, selection criteria, 
the suggested outline, the request for brevity, and River Network's 
especially encourages you to include an electronic version of your 
proposal.

Also, be sure to "surf backwards" in River Network's Web site to see 
about projects that were funded in 1999, 2000, and 2001.  Then you
will have a better idea about the types of projects funded, amounts 
typically requested, and perhaps even recognize an organization or 
watershed you know about to contact for more suggestions about ideas you 
have for your watershed.

Be sure to note that the due date without exception is for a July 19,
2002 postmark.
