<DIV><SPAN class=517482817-24022010><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I mentioned last
fall that I would be updating the ORMAP grant application this year.
Well, here it is. The changes are intended for the application
questions to follow the funding criteria. I have attached a copy of the
revised application and posted it on the ORMAP site (<A
href="http://www.ormap.org/ormap/forms.cfm">http://www.ormap.org/ormap/forms.cfm</A>).
Please use this "2010" version when submitting your applications this spring. If
your application does not use this version I will ask you to resubmit it before
it can be reviewed.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

class=517482817-24022010><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Draft applications are due to
the department by April 2, 2010. We're projecting a $65,680 grant limit and a
$9,852 small grant limit this spring. You can start sending your
applications anytime, the sooner the better. If you are planning to submit
a spring grant, please let me know as soon as possible and update your
online business plan. This will help me to get an idea about the need for
reductions. </FONT></SPAN></FONT></SPAN></DIV>
