Dear Colleagues,

Round 3 of the International Deaf Children's Society Small Grants 
Programme (SGP) opens today, 1 October.

SGP offers grants of up to £10,000 for projects that offer measurable 
and sustainable improvements to the individual lives of deaf children 
and their families. This could be either by piloting new services or 
improving existing services in the area of health and education or by 
promoting the empowerment and participation of deaf children and 
their families. Examples of eligible projects might include anything 
from sign language training for teachers to the establishment of a 
parent network or a deaf youth club.

If your organisation is registered in one of the SGP eligible 
countries and you think that you might have an idea for an eligible 
project, then you might want to apply.

Information about SGP eligibility criteria and details about how to 
apply can be found on the SGP section of our website, 
http://www.idcs.info/sgp

Applications are only accepted if they are in the SGP concept note 
format and they must be submitted before 30 November. The guidelines 
and format for the concept note are available to download at 
http://www.idcs.info/sgp/useful_documents/index.html

If you have problems accessing the internet or downloading the 
documents, please send me your contact details at the address below 
and I will send you all the information that you require by e-mail, 
fax or post.

The deadline for concept note submissions will be 30 November 2004 
and we would expect projects to start in March 2005. If you have any 
further questions about SGP please contact me at the address below.

Please feel free to forward this e-mail to any organisations or 
colleagues that you feel would be interested in this opportunity. 
Round 4 of SGP will open in May 2005.

Kind regards,

Kirsty
