Use the calendly timeblocks to ask questions - the calls were really helpful.

The initial webinar is not worth the 90 mins; it's a readthrough of the RFP.

NMEF provides great information about their focus and details regarding their RFP. They are focused on impact in the NE Region, however they are open to supporting national organizations who meet their requirement around being community-focused. Additionally, they are cognizant of how to make the applications process easy for organizations and specifically mention to repurpose existing content recent grant proposals as it makes sense.
