First Annual call for mini-grant proposals to further the mission of GEARs!
This year, GEARs will award a total of up to $1000 to support local projects that promote bicycle riding for transportation and recreation, the essence of the mission of the club.
Application should consist of an approximately 2 page (3 page limit) letter stating:
a) Descriptive title of application (e.g. “Bike light program” or “Ridding Eugene of street hazards”)
b) Name of applicant(s)
c) Amount of support requested (e.g. $250)
d) Known or likely additional funds available (because GEARs funds are limited, leveraging is encouraged)
e) Background (typically one paragraph describing the problem to be addressed).
f) Plan of action
g) Appendices (e.g. supporting letters)
Application deadline: November 30, 2009.
Send application, preferably as PDF, to the GEARs Board of Directors (board@eugenegears.org).
GEARs expects to announce award(s) before on or before Dec. 8, 2009 and funds will be available shortly thereafter. Not necessary to be GEARs member to apply but members are particularly encouraged.
