The American Chestnut Foundation is now accepting proposals for funding to support American Chestnut research.  Proposals are due August 16.

External grants offer recipients a variety of benefits such as professional development and an expanded network.

Grant activities contribute to the continuous renewal and development of faculty and staff, to the education and motivation of students, and achievement of our mutual interest – restoration of the American chestnut.

This is a small grants program. TACF does not ordinarily fund projects in excess of $10,000.
