Second Call: ACL Mini-grants Available – Applications due Feb. 15, 2019

If grant is awarded, a brief follow-up report is due one month after the date of the event. It should include a photo, number of people who attended, and one page on what occurred at the program, what worked really well, and what you would do differently in the future.  Applicants must be ACL Members!
