Anyone have an idea when the mentoring offenders grant award will be announced for 2010?
I have not heard anything yet, Carole. If past years are any indication, I'd say July is likely to be the month, perhaps later in the month for ones that had large number of applicants.
If you applied for some funds, best of luck!
Where can copies of the award winning proposals be found? Does anyone know??? Please advise. Thank you.
