The Vodafone Americas Foundation has announced its ninth annual Wireless Innovation Project, which offers applicants the opportunity to win up to $300,000 for innovative mobile solutions with the potential to solve critical global issues.

Domestic Violence Shelters that Permit Pets
www.akchumanefund.org
The American Kennel Club Humane Fund, the charitable arm of the American Kennel Club, works to unite a broad spectrum of animal lovers in promoting the joy and value of responsible pet ownership through education, outreach, and grantmaking. To that end, the fund is accepting grant applications from women's shelters that permit pets. The Fund's Women's Shelter grants are awarded for essential operational support related to the housing of pets or capital improvements specifically for the housing and maintenance of pets. To be eligible, organizations must provide temporary or permanent housing for victims of domestic abuse and their pets or provide temporary or permanent housing for pets of victims of domestic abuse and have a formal, established working relationship with at least one nonprofit shelter for victims of domestic abuse.
Art Works
www.arts.gov
The National Endowment for the Arts is accepting applications for its Art Works program. Grants are limited to projects and events and may not be used for operating expenses. Both project planning and implementation is eligible for assistance. Projects need not be new. Excellent existing projects can be just as competitive as new activities. Grants range from $10,000 - $100,000.
National Endowment for the Arts – Challenge America
www.arts.gov
The Challenge America category offers support primarily to small and mid-sized organizations for projects that extend the reach of the arts to underserved populations -- those whose opportunities to experience the arts are limited by geography, ethnicity, economics, or disability. Age alone (e.g., youth, seniors) does not qualify a group as underserved; at least one of the underserved characteristics noted above also must be present. Grants are available for professional arts programming and for projects that emphasize the potential of the arts in community development.
