The Indiana Audubon Society (IAS) has set aside grant and scholarship funds for individuals and organizations seeking funding for activities related to Indiana's natural resources, particularly those related to Indiana's avifauna, that promote the Indiana Audubon Society's mission. In 2015, $2000.00 has been set aside for applicants in the following categories:
â— IAS Members who are students, scientists, individuals, or non-profit organizations that are promoting a project that supports the study of Indiana's natural resources, particularly those related to Indiana's avifauna, and their relation to the natural environment; projects which contribute to preservation of birds; and/or projects which disseminate knowledge of birds.
â— IAS Student Members interested in birds and wish to attend summer camps, workshops, classes, training programs, conventions, and other bird related activities (both IAS sponsored and non-IAS sponsored). This category of awards is of particular interest for the Indiana Audubon Society's Indiana Young Birders Club.
â— IAS Members wishing to attend workshops, classes, training programs, conventions, and other bird related activities (both IAS sponsored and non-IAS sponsored).
SELECTION PROCESS
All applications must be received by March 1 for spring funding or August 1 for fall funding. Respective awards will be announced by April and September, respectively. The Indiana Audubon Society Awards Committee will review all applications to determine eligibility. Partial funding may also be awarded after consultation with grant applicants. Deadline for use of the funds is June 30 of the following award year.
Inappropriate requests for budget items include: routine living expenses, stipend or salary for yourself, supplies and overhead expenses normally provided by your organization or institution, and most requests for permanent equipment (e.g. binoculars, scopes, field guides) unless these are to become property of the applicant's organization or institution.
