- Recycling and Solid Waste Grant Program. Proposals should focus on (1) improving solid waste management systems within Nevada or a local municipality, or (2) increasing opportunities for the recycling and reuse of solid waste, (3) or increasing public awareness of the importance of conserving natural resources or the reuse, recycling and appropriate disposal of solid waste. NDEP encourages action-oriented projects rather than projects oriented toward research and development. Proposals should be realistic, specific, focused, have an effective delivery system, identify a target audience, and be reasonable and appropriate for the amount of funding requested. Proposals which demonstrate the likelihood of being financially self-sustaining at the projects' conclusion will be favored. Deadline 2006-12-31.
- Clean Water Act Section 319(h) Grants (Nonpoint Source Pollution).

National Endowment for the Arts, Arts Endowment
Area of focus: The Arts Endowment achieves its support of arts education through a focus on children, teachers, artists, arts organizations, and school leadership that will model best practices in arts education, disseminate those practices to the field, and build the case for quality arts education across the country. Critical to this strategy is the rigorous application of national, state, or local arts education standards.
