Heads up to readers in the Pacific Northwest — the Bullitt Foundation is calling for grant applications for programs to “to inform, organize, and engage diverse groups of people to protect the environment.” The next deadline for a letter of inquiry is March 15.

The Foundation is explicit about its willingness to fund lots of efforts that other foundations shy away from:

• Polls
• Media Training
• Fundraising
• Voter education campaigns
• Electronic communications
• And more

And as long as we’re on the subject of money… there’s only 5 days left to make a donation to the “Conservation Communicator Convalescence Fund” (You knew I’d come with up with an alliteration sooner or later, I just can’t help myself). As you know, one of my regular readers is quite ill and could really use your moral and financial support to get through this difficult time. A number of you have already pitched in, and I’m super grateful! Even the smallest contribution will warm her heart, and mine. Please give today!
