Stoica Overview Summary of 8 currently outstanding marriage grants - 5/06

[Smartmarriages]

Hi Diane,
Yes, there really is "something for everyone" in the recent batch of ACF
marriage-related grants.  The trick, right now, is sorting through all of
these opportunities to determine which one (or ones) is/are the best fit for
a particular organization.  In order to help with this task, I have compiled
the following summary of the eight currently-outstanding marriage-related
grant opportunities from ACF, listed in the order in which the grant
applications are due.  More detailed information about each of these can be
found at http://www.acf.hhs.gov/grants/index.html .   For each of the
below-listed grants, information is provided in the following format:
