The Center for Rural Development and     Brushy Fork Institute of Berea College are accepting grant proposals for     the 2016 KY-Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) Flex-E-Grant program.

   

The Flex-E-Grant (FEG)     program provides small investments in short-term projects that build     community capacity to mobilize local resources, gain leadership experience,     and strengthen community institutions and network.

   

Grants are subject to     approval for up to $10,000, require a 20 percent match of the total     projects, and are to be completed within a six-month timeframe.

   

Competitive grants are     available for nonprofit entities or units of government in 40 Southern and     Eastern Kentucky ARC-distressed counties interested     in implementing projects that build community capacity.
