Please clean up this chart. The section breaks (double backslashes) are not needed and I think they may be making the chart oddly spaced. Also there are a lot of organizations just thrown at the bottom, please add them properly to the chart, too, or find some way to organize all of these institutions without using a chart.

Spoke with the Honduran Representative at IAF. Monroe had a conversation with him as well and since Aguaclara is not eligible for the grant in its current form he suggested APP continue to apply for it instead |

APP may be interested in this. I don't think it could be used to construct plants, but may be applicable for further research about the impact of the plants on water quality, health, etc. |

contact EPA Grants Administration Division |
Unsolicited proposals before 5/15 FY |
This announcement is really confusing, but it mentions as one of its objectives "International Capacity Building (water safe to drink)"... there may not currently be grants offered in that area, but I think it would be worth keeping an eye on, and maybe enquiring about to get more information. |

USAID Public Private Alliance Program |
USAID |
no specified limit |
grants.gov |
submit concept paper to Honduras mission |
none, concept papers reviewed periodically |
This program looks really interesting. They recommend interested applicants contact the mission first to make sure the project is in line with the missions objectives before submitting a concept paper. It requires "resource leverage" on a 1:1 ratio... at least some of which must be in cash. We would need to specify exactly what our resources are, i.e. technical expertise, knowledge, service hours, etc. |
