Greetings Everyone,
The State College Bird Club is happy to announce our 2025 Request for Proposals for bird-related projects. This year, we have $1,416 from the SCBC Endowment managed by Centre Foundation.
We are looking to support activities and projects related to bird conservation, research and/or education in the Centre region (Centre County and its contiguous counties). These funds will be disbursed as either several small grants or one larger grant.
In 2024 we funded several projects including bird nest boxes in Patton Township Parks, and Millbrook Marsh, off-site education activities by Centre Wildlife Care and binoculars for visitor use at Millbrook Marsh Nature Center.
Anyone interested in applying for funding should complete the attached grant application, submitted as a PDF attachment by April 30, 2025 to Susan Braun (<braun3112...>).
Applications will be reviewed in May by the SCBC selection committee. Applicants will be notified about funding decisions by June 1, 2025. Any questions regarding the funding or application can be directed to selection committee members: Susan (<braun3112...>), Deb Escalet ( <d5me16...>) or Peggy Wagoner (<raven966...>).
Thank you and we look forward to receiving applications to support birds in our area. Please feel free to share this application with others where appropriate.
