Greetings Everyone,
Hope you are all enjoying this nice spring weather and have the opportunity to enjoy some of your favorite spring migrants/arrivals. With all of this exciting bird activity, don't forget that there is only one week remaining to apply for State College Bird Club grants to support avian conservation in our area.
The *April 30 deadline* is fast approaching. We encourage everyone to apply who has a project or research or educational activity related to avian conservation.
SCBC has $1416.00 available for distribution from the SCBC Endowment managed by Centre Foundation. These funds will be distributed either as several small grants or one large grant. Activities that could be funded include (but are not limited to): *Projects*: - setting up or maintaining bird boxes at a public park or installing bird safe window treatments in a public building. *Research* : - helping with costs of materials, equipment, transportation or professional conference fees related to conducting avian research. *Education*: - helping with costs of materials, equipment, transportation or professional conference or workshop fees related to avian educational activities.
We look forward to your ideas. Please pass this notification onto students or others who are doing any activities related to bird conservation who may be interested in applying.
Everyone interested in applying for funding should complete the grant application submitted as a PDF attachment by April 30, 2025 to Susan Braun ( <braun3112...>). Applications will be reviewed in May by the SCBC selection committee (Susan Braun, Deb Escalet and Peggy Wagoner).
Applicants will be notified about funding decisions by June 1, 2025. Any questions regarding the funding or application can be directed to selection committee members: Susan (<braun3112...>), Deb (<d5me16...>) or Peggy (<raven966...>). Anyone interested in joining our selection committee, please contact any one of us.
Thank you and we look forward to receiving applications to support birds in our area.
