[Monica Biswas]

Hello YL-
We came across this RFP.  It's for youth-led initiatives to fight hunger in
local communities.  DUE DATE:  November 11th, 2002.

The funds will be available to start a program in December 2002, with a
final report due to funders by August 2003.  Grants offered will be between
$500 and $2500.  Please note that they require 100% matching of any funds
you request from them.

"Include letters of commitment for receipt of 100% matching funds or
in-kind contributions.  For example, if you request $1,000 from this grant,
you must have documentation of $1,000 in matching funds or in-kind
contributions and letter(s) of support for that amount.  (All letters of
commitment must be written on company letterhead.)"  (from pg. 4 of the
application:  http://www.doc.n4h.org/programsinfo/Kraft2003App.doc)

                                      Hunger haunts all types of American  
                                      communities, not just the poorest.   
                                      But in many communities, residents   
                                      are largely unaware of the problem.  
                                      By increasing awareness and          
                                      involvement, these communities can   
                                      significantly boost the food supply  
                                      for the hungry. Young people         
                                      represent an enormous and generally  
                                      untapped source of energy,           
                                      ingenuity, and empathy that can be   
                                      channeled to address local hunger    
                                      problems with great results. To help 
                                      communities mobilize this important  
                                      resource, National 4-H Council in    
                                      partnership with Kraft Foods, Inc.,  
                                      offers grants of $500 to $2,500 to   
                                      teams promoting youth/adult          
                                      involvement in local food banking,   
                                      outreach, and public awareness       
                                      efforts.  The link to download the
