2008
Over the past three years
Bamboo has concentrated on giving out multi-year grants to
decrease the burdens on the organizations we support. Therefore,
all available funds are already committed through 2008 and
there will not be an application and site visit process in
2008. The application process, with a revised grants program, will re-open in early 2009 for
new funding.
Note: For your convenience, the application form
for 2006 can be seen below. The application for 2009 will likely be somewhat different.
