Deadline for Invest in Children Grant Applications for funding in 2008 has been extended to Aug 31, 2008. We are restructuring our review process and will be announcing awards in the fall of 2008. In the case of highly competitive applications, we will give priority to projects that include the involvement of retired volunteers in the proposed project. All applicants who have submitted applications by the previous deadline are welcome to revise and resubmit by the new August 31 deadline. We will consider the second application, if one is submitted.
