Greetings Everyone,
This is a friendly reminder that the *April 30 deadline* to apply for our State College Bird Club grant is approaching. We encourage everyone to apply who has a project or research or educational activity related to avian conservation.
SCBC has $1416.00 available for distribution from the SCBC Endowment managed by Centre Foundation. These funds will be distributed either as several small grants or one large grant. Activities that could be funded include (but are not limited to): *Projects*: - setting up or maintaining bird boxes at a public park or installing bird safe window treatments in a public building. *Research* : - helping with costs of materials, equipment, transportation or professional conference fees related to conducting avian research. *Education*: - helping with costs of materials, equipment, transportation or professional conference or workshop fees related to avian educational activities.
We look forward to your ideas. Please pass this notification onto students or others who are doing any activities related to bird conservation who may be interested in applying.
Everyone interested in applying for funding should complete the 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 (Susan Braun, Deb Escalet and Peggy Wagoner).
