The Five Star and Urban Waters Restoration grant program seeks to develop community capacity to sustain local natural resources for future generations by providing modest financial assistance to diverse local partnerships focused on improving water quality, watersheds and the species and habitats they support.

The purpose of this program is to fund organizations to provide a pre-apprenticeship program model that encompasses education, occupational skills training, leadership development, and post-program placement opportunities to at-risk youth.

We are seeking accomplished researchers with a history of working with arts organizations, and in particular BIPOC arts organizations. Researchers should have a strong record of publications and of supporting practice in the field of arts organizations.
