The Fund supports permanent state-based coalitions that have a long-term strategy for uniting diverse constituencies with a grassroots base and that have a common vision for economic and social justice. Priority is given to coalitions promoting citizen participation in key policy arenas such as campaign finance reform, fair tax policy, affordable health care, and the environment. Applications are due August 27, 2003. (The Fund prefers applications to be submitted via email.) Visit the website for more information. ****************** The Impact Fund is a public charity designed to provide funding for public interest litigation that will potentially benefit a large number of people, lead to significant law reform, or raise the public consciousness. The Fund makes grants of up to $25,000 to pay for out-of-pocket costs and expenses of substantial class action and impact cases. Grants are made in the general areas of poverty law, environmental justice, elimination of discrimination, and civil and human rights. In addition, the board has designated specific priorities in the criminal or immigration, education access, and equity areas. The Fund does not support traditional environmental (i.e. wilderness, general pollution claims) or civil liberties cases, such as First Amendment claims. Also, international claims are not funded unless they involve United States government or corporate conduct. Nonprofit organizations, private attorneys, and firms are eligible to apply. The next deadline for pre-applications is August 27, 2003, and full applications are due on September 4, 2003. Visit the website above for details. ****************** In order to improve the statistical reporting of federal grants and cooperative agreements, the Office of Management and Budget has directed all federal agencies to require all applicants for federal grants to provide a Dun and Bradstreet (D&B) Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number when applying for Federal grants or cooperative agreements on or after October 1, 2003.
