Tribal Funding Grant Announcement - due May 13

[Smartmarriages]

Kay Reed of the Dibble Institute for Marriage Education has created a
synopsis of today's call for grants and she's sharing it with the list
because she believes it includes opportunities for family strengthening and
relationship education. Because here area is Youth Education, her synopsis
focuses on youth, but she says the full announcement includes adults as
well.  Thank you Kay for your generosity.  - diane
