Overview

The applicants must demonstrate that the options being considered will strengthen the impact and build resiliency and sustainability of multiple organizations.
Eligibility
Any group of organizations working to support new or expanded strategic collaborations in order to build resilient, sustainable, local organizations that achieve ecological outcomes and engage local communities.
