Got it from another list. Found this at Goodman Family Gen. Page at http://members.home.net/dmg0/genecomp.htm The Learning Company Grants for Genealogy Groups The Learning Company's Family Tree Maker product group is pleased to announce its third annual Genealogy Group Grant Program. Hundreds of genealogy groups across the nation are involved in developing new materials and resources which benefit all genealogy enthusiasts. However, many groups with fantastic ideas are limited by financial concerns. The Learning Company recognizes that each genealogy society's project has the potential to impact the overall genealogical community, and we are proud to support the community by providing financial assistance for some of these important projects. Grants to Aid Genealogical Projects The Learning Company will award a total of $20,000 in a number of grants ranging in amount from $500 to $2,500. A panel of professional genealogists and representatives of large national genealogy organizations will select the winning entries. Following are general guidelines for the grants: Your society should be trying to do something special that will make a valuable genealogical contribution. Grants will be given to societies whose projects require additional funds not covered by their dues. Preference will be given to: 1) preservation projects (such as flattening documents and archiving in acid free materials); 2) projects to make otherwise inaccessible records available (microfilming, cataloguing, indexing, etc.); 3) large projects or equipment needs (e.g., purchasing a microfilm reader or computer). 4) projects that convert data from paper or microfilm to electronic format Funds will not be given to help cover operating costs of a society or advertising or promotional costs. -- LeaAnn- Researching, ARTERBURN, BELLOMY, CARSON, COLLINS, DEWEY, FITZGERALD, JAYNES, KELLEY, MOWERY, PFILESTICKER, RICH, SEE, SHOEMAKER, TIPTON, WHEELER http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Valley/8621/ !^NavFont02F07A40007NGHHNA6C3F3 Maggie's World of Courthouse Dust & Genealogy Fever http://www.infinet.com/~dzimmerm/mindex.html *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* God Put Me On Earth to Accomplish a Certain Number of Things.
