TURI Requests Community Grant Proposals 
Know of any community organizations or municipalities that may be 
interested in educating people about how to reduce toxic chemical use in 
their neighborhoods?  If so, please encourage them to apply for the Toxics 
Use Reduction Institute (TURI) Community Grant.  Non-profit community or 
environmental organizations, municipal departments, or agencies in 
Massachusetts are eligible. 
 New this year--the proposal deadline is June 29, 2007, earlier than in 
past years, and TURI offers $1,000 grants for smaller toxics use reduction 
projects as well as up to $15,000 for larger projects.  This year’s 
projects will run from August 2007-June 2008.  All grants are contingent 
on program funding.
 Now in its thirteenth year, the goal of the TURI Community Grant Program 
is to help organizations raise awareness of the hazards of toxic chemical 
use and introduce safer alternatives within their neighborhoods.
 
You can download the application package by visiting 
www.turi.org/community.  The request for proposals is attached.  For 
further information, contact Joy Onasch, TURI Community Program Manager,

Please feel free to forward this message on to others that may be 
interested.
