In case you missed it, we wanted to mention that the National Issues Forums Institute is accepting applications again for the 2016 round of grants from the Taylor L. Willingham Legacy Fund. The $500-$1,000 grants are intended to honor the legacy of Taylor Willingham and her contributions to the field of deliberative democracy by supporting projects in the field, and we highly encourage NCDD members to apply for a grant or to donate to the fund.

Applications are due on December 31st, 2015 so make sure you apply before getting swept up in the holiday season! You can download a PDF of the application form by clicking here, and you can learn more about Taylor and make a donation to her legacy fund by clicking here.
