The spring 2010 Round of GEF Grants is around the corner!

The deadline for submitting requests to the Foundation is April 6^th 2010. (Please note, the request must arrive at the Foundation by this date, both by regular mail and e mail).

The current round of GEF grants will be of limited format and time schedule. It should not be assumed that support will continue for existing projects. Before applying for a grant, you are obliged to hold a preliminary discussion with Sigal Yaniv Feller, the Fund Director. Please schedule this discussion with Talia Hieman, Tel: 02-5399116, or talia@crbj.org.il.

Application forms will be made available to your organization, only following preliminary consultations with the Foundation management.

Please take into consideration that due to the current global economic situation, we are interested in promoting cooperation between organizations acting in similar fields, and those projects which are also cost-effective.

When applying for a grant please follow the following instructions:

1. The application must be submitted as one document only, page-numbered.

2. 3 copies of the application shall be sent by mail, and arrive at our offices no later than April 6^th 2010 .
