The Keep America Beautiful'sGrants Program provides opportunities for KAB certified affiliates to apply for and receive
over $1 million dollars in grant funding for community improvement,
beautification, greening, waste reduction and recycling.
One of these opportunities is for
graffiti prevention; six grants will
be awarded (four cash grants of $2,500 each; two paint product grants from
Sherwin-Williams valued at $2,500 each; and one FlashCAM from Q-Star Technology
valued at $6,100).
Though I took that
language right from the website, that looks like seven grants to me.
Proposed projects can
address graffiti prevention and education, rapid removal, or help to enforce
local anti-graffiti laws. Programs that
focus on graffiti prevention initiatives, including Crime Prevention Through
Environmental Design (CPTED), and engaging and educating youth are encouraged.
See the website for more
info.All libraries *should* be
eligible as Nonprofit, Civic, and Community Organizations, Youth Groups/Schools,
and Government Agencies can all apply.
Deadline: June 15, 2012.
