UFM's State Outreach Program began in 1979 as the result of legislation
called the Community Resource Act (CRA). Funding from this program allows UFM to
assist Kansas towns in developing community education/development programs
to meet the needs of their specific area. The program assists in two ways:
Mini Grants - Small matching grants ranging from $300 to $3,000 assists communities in the process of organizing community education, recreation or cultural programs using UFM's volunteer model.
Technical Assistance - Technical assistance is also available to help communities with grant applications, training on program development, volunteer recruitment, fund raising, publicity and other areas that will assist in their growth, development and stabilization.
Grant applications are due to the UFM office in the Fall each year. Grants are reviewed and awards made each Spring . For information, call (785) 539-8763, e-mail ufm@ksu.edu or write to CRA, 1221 Thurston, St, Manhattan, KS 66502.
Grant Applications for 2010 funding are due by October 15, 2009.
