The Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology is offering Celebrate Urban Bird Mini-Grants. The aim is to connect communities with nature, birds, arts and citizen science.

No experience with birds is required. The range of the grants is from $100 to $750.

Out-of-the-box (OotB) or out-of-the-nest projects (OotN) are welcomed.  Included in the description are some past programs funded by this grant program. Here are two OotB/OotN projects: an oncology center that encouraged patients to collect data while they waited for appointments; a courthouse that offered outdoor programming for children waiting for their parents.

Information about the program, requirements and timeline may be found here.
