In SECTION 2 several types of activities are listed. Your organization may wish to conduct any or all of the activity types.

of planned activities to one or two. Please refer to the sample applications in this information packet. There are a wide
range of activities for which your organization can seek funding. Remember, this is a 50/50 match so at least half of your
