Welcome! We will assume you have already read about this Museums Community Collaborations Abroad grant project, but if not, please check out the project web site.
(The Museums & Community Collaborations Abroad Program (MCCA) is administered by the American Association of Museums (AAM), and funded by the US Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA).)
After working for the past few weeks to finalize the grant agreement, Roger traveled from Fort Wayne up to Albion to meet with Lori and open a checking account to deposit the first installment of grant funds. A couple of days later we received the first of several installments. The first $1,500 was sent just in time for Volunteer Connections to be eligible for a matching grant from the Dekko Foundation. Volunteer Connections is a new organization in Noble County and serves organizations like Black Pine Animal Park by helping identify and match up potential volunteers with organizations who rely on them. Karen Lemire is Director of Volunteer Connections and she will participate as a U.S. team member on the MCCA project. She was very excited that these funds arrived in time to be eligible for a grant match locally.
Please stay tuned for updates on this exciting project... we're just getting started!!
