Funding Opportunities
for the week of 2/18/08
Beldon Fund
Human Health and the Environment Program
The Beldon Fund seeks proposals that engage new constituencies in exposing the connection between toxic chemicals and human health and in promoting public policies that prevent or eliminate environmental risks to people's health, particularly through application of the precautionary principle.
