The Northern Border Regional Commission has scheduled two information sessions in support of this fall’s Forest Economy Program grant application opportunity.
Each session will consist of an overview of the program and time for questions.
Eligible organizations, which include nonprofit and governmental entities (state, local and Indian tribes), can access grant application details via nbrc.gov/content/FEP, and attendees are encouraged to review program materials prior to attending. NBRC state program managers and FEP Advisory Board members will attend as schedules allow.
All sessions will be held via Zoom; registration is required. Information for each is below:
Tuesday, Aug. 8 at 9:30 a.m. To register, visit us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUoceGrqTsrGtWw5lsIiby4HwRGcd_bIDdF. After registering, people will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.

Potential applicants for the Fall 2023 FEP grant round must submit letters of interest by 5 p.m. Friday, Sept. 22.
