Upcoming grant deadlines

[Pam Rockwell]

Hi everyone --

Here is a quick run-down of upcoming grant deadlines. In addition to these,
HUD's Neighborhood Networks site has an updated list of funding
opportunities at http://www.hud.gov/nnw/nnwfndop.html.

If you know of any other funding sources that out-of-school youth programs
can take advantage of, please share them with the list!

Thanks,
Pam
