Altria Offers Environmental Grants for Water Projects
Deadline: September 30, 2004

Altria Group, Inc. (<a href="http://altria.com/">http://altria.com/</a>) has announced its 2004 environment request for proposals.

The goal of this initiative is to support innovative programs and projects that encourage collaboration among stakeholders to address water impairment and water use issues, and their impact on watersheds and constituent water bodies.

Altria Group will award up to 20 grants ranging from $10,000 to $75,000 per project. Grants may be used to cover costs associated with project development and implementation, including printing, materials, travel expenses, office supplies, planning costs, and key staff salaries.

Applicants may request grant funds for either, but not both, of the following categories: 1) foster scientific understanding/build best practices; and 2) promote community engagement/encourage responsible policy.

In order to apply for a grant, an organization must: have three or more years of experience in water conservation and/or water resource management; have demonstrable tangible results in its programming; and be a U.S. 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

Applications will only be accepted through the online request for proposal process. See the Altria Group Web site for complete program guidelines and application instructions.
