Due to the fact that the COVID-19 pandemic is an ongoing issue that affects physical attendance and has caused many organizations to switch to virtual programming, we ask that you take this into consideration when applying for a project this year so that you will not need to request a re-allocation of a potential grant award.  The judges of this program will be asked to make sure organizations have kept this in mind when applying this year.
