The Melinda Gray Ardia Environmental Foundation was founded in 1996 to continue the work of Melinda Gray Ardia, a biologist, environmental activist, and middle school science teacher in Newark, New York, who died in an automobile accident that year. The foundation’s mission is to integrate field activities and basic ecological principles into classroom teaching.

The foundation’s grant program is designed to empower and encourage students to become involved in solving environmental and social problems; promote thoughtful and appropriate analysis and understanding of the natural world; and to train students as informed decision makers through the emphasis and application of basic ecological principles.

To that end, grants of up to $1,500 will be awarded in support of environmental curricula that incorporate a holistic approach; strive to synthesize multiple levels of learning (facts, concepts, principles); include experiential integrated learning and problem solving; and are founded on basic scientific principles, including hypothesis testing and experimental design. Curricula also must incorporate basic ecological principles and field environmental activities within a primary or secondary school setting and present controversial issues objectively, stressing the development of individual student opinions.

Any organization is eligible to apply, including schools, nonprofits, governmental agencies, and others. There are no geological limitations.

Pre-proposals must be received no later than September 15, 2017. Upon review, selected applicants will be invited to submit a full proposal by September 21, 2017.

The Cedar Tree Foundation is a U.S.-focused family foundation created in the mid-1990s by the late pediatrician and entrepreneur Dr. David H. Smith. Smith believed in the power of individuals and organizations to make significant changes in the world, and Cedar Tree’s grantmaking continues to reflect that belief.

To advance its mission, the foundation is accepting applications for its Environmental Education Teacher Professional Development Program, which offers grants to organizations that provide summer professional development opportunities for current K-12 teachers in a public, private, or alternative school. Projects should allow teachers to have an engaging, hands-on EE experience with a cohort of other teachers; include networking and follow-up activities that support teachers in building their skills and bringing innovative and inspiring environmental stewardship education back to their classrooms in the fall; and provide compelling opportunities for school administrators that translate into impact in the classroom or school community will also be considered.

In 2017, grants will range between $20,000 and $100,000.

To be eligible, applicants must be a 501(c)(3) organization that provides professional development opportunities for K-12 teachers in public, private, or alternative schools.

For complete program guidelines and application instructions, see the Cedar Tree Foundation.

The Impact Fund provides grants to nonprofit legal firms, private attorneys, and/or small law firms working to advance social justice in the areas of civil and human rights, environmental justice, and poverty law.

Through the fund’s litigation program, grants of up to $25,000 will be awarded in support of public interest litigation that has the potential to benefit a large number of people, lead to significant law reform, and raise public consciousness of social justice issues. Preference is civil rights, human rights, anti-poverty, and environmental justice cases that will affect a marginalized group. Most of its grants are for class actions, but the fund also will support multi-plaintiff and environmental justice cases that aim to significantly affect a larger system. Impact Fund grants may be used for out-of-pocket litigation expenses such as expert fees and discovery costs, but not for attorney’s fees, staff, or other overhead.

Grants will be awarded to private attorneys, small legal firms, and nonprofit legal entities that do not have sufficient access to funding sources. Specifically, grants are intended to support cases that could not be effectively prosecuted, and/or in which financial hardship would occur to the applicant if supplementary funding were not available. Grants may cover reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses (including non-recoverable costs) such as deposition expenses, expert fees, and investigation expenses.

For the 2017 winter grant cycle, the deadline for Letters of Interest is October 10, 2017. Upon review, selected applicants will be invited to submit a full application by November 7, 2017.

Episodes of violence and trauma in young people’s communities, especially those that arise from a place of systemic inequality, prejudice and racism, impact young people’s lives in a variety of ways. Mentors are uniquely positioned to help young people process these experiences by providing a space to express their emotions, ask for help, and channel uncertain feelings into positive, constructive action. However, mentors may need strategies for supporting these discussions and actions as well as support for being allies to young people trying to make sense of their feelings. For example, in the aftermath of tragic incidents of racial profiling and violence resulting from police actions, young people may feel unsafe, angry, frustrated, sad, and powerless. This guide was developed to help mentors build relationships with young people that affirm their experiences and cultivate a sense of safety after incidents of violence or traumatic events occur.

Additionally, we encourage mentors to convene with their networks and affiliated organizations to discuss these recommendations and apply them to the unique experiences of the communities and young people they serve, and we emphasize the importance of collaboration between youth-serving groups and organizations to facilitate affirming, healing and supportive conversations with young people about violence they have experienced or encountered, and their reactions to these tragic events.

From the time US colleges started numbering courses, “101” has come to represent the initial course in a subject. That certainly applies to The Nonprofit Center’s Nonprofit 101, which is the quintessential overview of nonprofit management and operation. And so it makes sense that it is the first class in our 2017-18 academic year.

This class, so essential for all nonprofit senior staff and board that it is given three times, is your immersion into the individual areas/roles that every senior leader in a nonprofit must work in. This includes fundraising, finance, human resources, marketing, programming, and more. As an executive director (and often as a senior or mid-level manager), you have to juggle various roles and responsibilities, always in the context of how the pieces must fit together with the organization-at-large. Performing well as a nonprofit manager in these circumstances requires both specific skills as well as the ability to solve problems and generate ideas as you manage mission, people, programs and resources.

Running an organization or a program is so much more than assigning tasks and giving directions, but is rooted in planning, organizing, leading and controlling. This course explains the key responsibilities of senior managers and executive directors as well as the critical relationship between staff and board in any nonprofit. Pathways to becoming an effective leader, manager and facilitator will be clarified, as will the ability to identify potential critical management issues and address them proactively. It serves as the ideal foundation for honing all your future management skills and individual capacity building.

Every expert on US elections agrees that students are one of the least-represented groups in our democracy. Since 2004, F&M Votes has been challenging the perception that low rates of student voting are inevitable by mobilizing thousands of students to the polls. As a nonpartisan student/faculty/staff and alumni campaign dedicated to grassroots organizing, we register at move-in day and in classes followed by an intensive GOTV (Get Out the Vote) outreach before and on Election Day.

In March 2018, we invite campus leaders from across the country to join us for hands-on training. Come hear from national experts on student voting rights. Learn how to build an effective, nonpartisan coalition that helps students vote where they study. Practice face-to-face voter registration techniques. Discuss how to mobilize students in time for the 2018 congressional midterm elections. Every institution will produce a detailed plan for implementation in 2018 to enhance student voting.

The conference is an all-day workshop on Saturday, March 3, 2018. Accommodations will be available at reduced rates for both Friday and Saturday nights. Lancaster is easily accessible by car, Amtrak, and major airports.
