Upcoming application deadlines are August 27, 2007; and November 26, 2007. Bikes Belong ( &lt;A href="http://bikesbelong.org/"&gt;http://bikesbelong.org/&lt;/A&gt; ) is a national coalition of bicycle suppliers and retailers working together to put more people on bicycles more often. Bikes Belong welcomes grant applications from organizations and agencies within the United States that are committed to "putting more people on bicycles more often." The Bikes Belong Grants Program funds projects in two categories: 1) facilities; and 2) advocacy. For the facility category, Bikes Belong will accept applications from nonprofit organizations, public agencies, and departments at the national, state, regional, and local levels. For the advocacy category, Bikes Belong will only fund organizations whose mission is expressly related to bicycle advocacy. New organizations that are not yet legally nonprofit organizations may submit an application with the assistance of another nonprofit that has agreed to serve as fiscal agent. Bikes Belong will not fund individuals. Because of the program's limited funds, it rarely awards grants to organizations and communities that have received Bikes Belong funding within the last three years. Applicants can request up to $10,000. In very limited cases, Bikes Belong will consider amounts over $10,000. The organization awards an average of fifteen grants per year. Bikes Belong reviews applications on a quarterly cycle.&lt;BR&gt;Applications must be postmarked by the due date to receive consideration for the ensuing decision date. Visit the program's Web site for complete application information.&lt;BR&gt; &lt;A href="http://bikesbelong.org/"&gt;http://bikesbelong.org/&lt;/A&gt;page.cfm?PageID=21</description><guid isPermaLink="true">http://grantsalertblog.com/2007/02/09/new-grant-alerts-for-your-review.aspx#comment-384689</guid><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jul 2007 06:13:20 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Comment on U.S DOE Teacher-to-Teacher Summer Workshops</title><link>http://grantsalertblog.com/2007/04/27/us-doe-teachertoteacher-summer-workshops.aspx#comment-371835</link><dc:creator>Joe  Mizereck</dc:creator><description>Sandra, You cannot teach chemistry without a well equipped lab. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Send me some more info.  What state?

I am a teacher and the school I will be teaching in this fall has a lab that is truly outdated. There has been no improvement in the chemistry lab in 30 years. Students do not even go into the lab. I do not know how you can teach chemistry and physics without a lab. I really need help in finding funding to fix the lab. There is neve eoungh money to get that done. Can you or anyone else help. Thanks in advance,&lt;br /&gt;Sandra</description><guid isPermaLink="true">http://grantsalertblog.com/2007/04/27/us-doe-teachertoteacher-summer-workshops.aspx#comment-371596</guid><pubDate>Sat, 26 May 2007 21:01:06 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
