Funding Opportunities

Projects selected to receive a BEIF grant are also eligible to receive technical assistance through PDAP to support development activities aimed at facilitating their successful implementation and reinforcing their long-term sustainability and proper operation.

Through this program, NADBank offers grants to support the implementation of critical environmental infrastructure projects for economically distressed communities in the U.S.-Mexico border region. CAP grants may be used for:

- Project construction and related costs
- Project management and supervision
- Equipment purchase
- Other project components
- Emergency repairs

This program offers grant financing exclusively for the implementation of high-priority municipal drinking water and wastewater infrastructure projects located within 100 kilometers of the U.S.-Mexico border.

The objective of the program is to make water infrastructure projects affordable by combining grant funds with loans and other forms of financing. It is designed to reduce project debt to a manageable level in cases where utility customers would face undue financial hardship and projects could not otherwise be implemented.

BEIF funds may be used to support projects that serve a single community or regional approaches that serve multiple communities and/or outlying areas.

The Legacy Foundation of Southeast Arizona offers capacity building grants to nonprofit organizations for the purpose of obtaining Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) training for their staff, Board, and volunteers.

This grant is being offered to nonprofits in Cochise and eastern Santa Cruz counties to promote population health and community wellness that is best achieved when diverse groups of people relate to one another with acceptance and respect, are valued and welcomed for who they are, and are given the same opportunities to grow, contribute, and develop within their community, regardless of their identity.

The grant is for the sole purpose of DEI training. The organization may select the DEI training that works best for them.

Asterion Foundation™ provides microgrants for astronomy research and outreach projects throughout the United States. Asterion supports schools, universities, libraries, planetaria, observatories, museums and science clubs. Grants typically range between $500 and $5,000. Some awards are partial grants for lead sponsorship, matching fundraisers and finishing funds.

Many of our previous grant recipients have been involved in the topic of meteoritics, such as meteorite exhibits at museums, all-night meteor camera detectors (CAMS), and paleo-astronomy through the study of microtektites in fossilized mollusks. In 2019, our directors voted to make the area of meteoritics our chief interest. However, we will gladly review other applications pertaining to astronomy research and outreach.
