The online application deadline for Anchor Organizations is June 1, 2008.

The Anchor Organization Program is a three-year program.  This is year three of the three-year cycle. Only current Anchor Organizations are eligible to apply and the applications will not be reviewed by a peer review panel in FY 2009. 

Participation in the Anchor Organization Program is not guaranteed, nor is there a commitment to fund this program, or participating organizations, at current levels.
