The Practice Council is proud to announce the third round of SCRA Community Mini-Grants.  During 2013, we will be giving a total of 10 awards of up to $1,200 each. Instead of being distributed on a rolling basis, we are accepting applications during two distinct time periods, with start dates of: January 1 and July 1.  The total grant funding will be divided between the two periods.  In the spirit of making these funds time-sensitive to community needs, our goal is to fund community projects which are set to begin within two months of application date.  Last year (2012) we funded nine community-based projects across the United States and internationally.

The Mini-Grant is designed to help support and catalyze small scall, time-sensitive community interventions, whether action or research based, that are consistent with the SCRA vision, mission, principles and goals.
