Alice,
Last year's recipients seem to have similar enough agendas to ours that it the maps project and Max's Challenge would qualify. I'm forwarding this to the Board to see if anybody wants to pursue it.
Thanks!
Frank

Dear Non-Profits, Twenty students at West Virginia University are learning how to think like corporate philanthropists again this semester. They are accepting applications for grants through, Friday, March 28, 2008. On May 2, 2008 the class will hand out $20,000 to local organizations.
Called the Corporate Citizenship Project, the program is in its seventh year at the WVU College of Business and Economics. Students have given away a total of $145,000 since 2001. Funding for the program comes from WVU alumni who recognize the importance of businesses contributing to the community.
The program was originally designed by Management Professor Gerald Blakely to teach future business leaders the value of contributing to society and the community. This year, Dr. Joyce Heames is leading the program.
Attached is a flier about the program and details on what to send in and the necessary deadlines. Thank you so much for your time and if you have any questions please contact Dr. Joyce Heames (304-293-7936, joyce.heames@mail.wvu.edu).
