Albert I Pierce Foundation Grants - 2011 General Content

The Albert I Pierce Foundation is pleased to announce that the Grant Cycle for 2011 is open. The Foundation seeks initiatives that expand awareness and involvement in programs related to the education, arts and the environment, encourage public participation in environmental and art projects, and develop or conserve valuable environmental and cultural resources for public use and posterity. The Foundation supports community initiatives that address critical as well as major cultural and heritage enrichment programs.

The Foundation will be accepting applications for community-based projects, primarily in the state of New Mexico, in the areas of arts, education, environment or a combination of the three focus areas. Other areas of the United States are also considered for grants at board discretion.

The 2011 Grant Application for $10,000 will be accepted up to November 15, 2010. These grants will be announced by January 22, 2011.

The 2011 Grant Application for $5,000 will be accepted up to February 15, 2011. These grants will be announced by April 22, 2011.

Matching funds of at least 25% of the granted amount are required.

Please note that the application procedures have changed for the 2011 cycle. In an effort to reduce waste, we are not requiring 3 copies of the application to be sent to the Foundation. You may email your application to aipfound@swcp.org or mail one hard copy to the address listed below.
