Grants will range from $1,000 to $10,000.  We expect to make up to 5-7 grants within the $1,000-2,500 range, 2-3 grants in the 2500-5000 range, and 2 grants in the 5,000 to $10,000 range. Funds are considered one-time funds and must be used by the end of the fiscal year in which they are disbursed. Awardees may reapply for subsequent funding cycles if they can demonstrate how it will significantly evolve and further the project.

Applications must be completed online to be considered. Letters of support are not required but may be included if they significantly enhance the application. Matching funds are encouraged but not required.

As a condition of receiving the grant funds, awardees are required to assist in sharing their experience with the RBHS community, for example, through RBHS newsletters, publications, and/or websites.
