Beldon Fund Offers Support to Environmental Advocacy Organizations
Deadline: June 16, 2004 (Letters of Inquiry)

The Beldon Fund (<a href="http://www.beldon.org/">http://www.beldon.org/</a>) seeks to build a national consensus to achieve and sustain a healthy planet by supporting effective, nonprofit environmental advocacy organizations.

The fund focuses project and general support grants in two programs: 1) Human Health and the Environment, and 2) Key States.

The Human Health and the Environment program seeks to add new, powerful voices to promote a national consensus on the environment and to activate the public on issues that matter to people in a deeply personal and potent way. The fund seeks proposals that engage new constituencies in exposing the connection between toxic chemicals and human health and in promoting public policies that prevent or eliminate environmental risks to people’s health, particularly through application of the precautionary principle.

The Key States program focuses on particular states where the power of a growing, energized consensus for environmental protection can be organized and brought to bear on public policy and policy makers. The fund accepts Letters of Inquiry from Florida, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, and Wisconsin for this program.

See the Beldon Fund Web site for complete program guidelines, application procedures, and an eligibility quiz.
