We've got some open slots for our Voter Technology Training April 28-May 
1 in Minneapolis

AND we're offering tuition scholarships and travel expense funds for the 
right community organizing groups.

Apply Today!

If you're planning on a voter project this year and you're wondering how 
you're going to manage the data from your membership database and the 
voter list, you should come to our training at the end of April. (This 
training is part of our VOTER project.)

With the Voter Tech Training coming up very soon, we're expediting 
awards for scholarships and travel funds. You can apply as part of your 
application for the VOTER Project following the procedures here. OR - if 
you aren't ready to complete the whole proposal now, - you can apply on 
the course registration page available from here. Just remember to 
request a scholarship and say that you will be submitting a VOTER 
Project proposal.

The VOTER Project is a new program for non-profit 501C3 community 
organizing groups doing voter education and get-out-the-vote work in 
2008. This program is designed to improve the capacity of community-led 
organizing groups to integrate their voter projects with their on-going 
organizing programmatic work.

Training grant awards for tuition, travel and lodging will be made now. 
These are being made separately from other VOTER Project grant awards. 
Those will start in mid-May and will continue as funding is available.

peace,
