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 /> <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 /> <br />For more information and application materials, please contact: <br /> <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 />
