• <br /> REQUIREMENTS: To apply for the program, an association should have five to eight <br /> citizens who are committed to planning effectively for the future of the resource. As a <br /> funding requirement, the leadership team must commit to having a minimum of five <br /> participants at both training sessions. They should also be willing to recruit additional <br /> shoreline residents to participate in the process. A Lake or River Management Plan must <br /> be completed and implementation toward one or more of the identified goals must begin <br /> to receive full funding under the grant. <br /> PROCESS: Local associations should apply to the sponsoring organization, which in <br /> turn submits a written application using the Foundation's guidelines. If initial criteria are <br /> met, the applicant will be asked to host a site visit. At the site visit, Foundation staff will <br /> explain the program in more detail and ensure that it is the right option for the applicant <br /> and participating associations. After the site visit and review of the application, the <br /> Foundation will determine acceptance into the program. In some cases, a smaller grant <br /> may be offered to initiate a planning process to prepare for program entrance. <br /> For more information and application materials, please contact: <br /> Don Hickman, Environmental Specialist <br /> Initiative Foundation <br /> 405 First Street SE • <br /> Little Falls, MN 56345 <br /> (320) 632-9255 <br /> Fax: (320) 632-9258 <br /> E-mail: dhickman@ifound.org <br /> Website: www.ifound.org <br /> • <br /> • <br />
