2011/12 CRT MiniGrants
CRT’s minigrant program supports innovative interfaith peacebuilding projects. The goal is to provide small amounts of seed money to individuals and organizations that have a great idea or project but might be too small to qualify for larger grants. The priorities for 2011 are women’s empowerment, cross border projects, youth interfaith, and trauma healing. Please come back often to view program updates and reports.
