KEEP LOUISIANA BEAUTIFUL OFFERS GRANTS TO COMMUNITIES COMBATING LITTER For the seventh consecutive year, KLB is offering grants to communities committed to reducing litter in their jurisdictions. KLB will award up to $10,000 per entity to eligible applicants who are 501c3 nonprofit organizations, governmental agencies, affiliates and pre-certified affiliates of Keep America Beautiful. The electronic application deadline for interested organizations is January 27, 2010, and all grants will be awarded during the week of February 8, 2010. Recipients must complete all projects and work related to the grant by December 31, 2010.
1. Demonstrate a strong commitment to supporting the mission of KLB. 2. Demonstrate the provision of a valuable service to the community in which it serves. Extra points will be given to those who: 1. Can demonstrate they have applied for or received funds from other sources and do not rely solely on funding from KLB; 2. Have attended more than one KLB annual state conference in the past; 3. Are certified affiliates in "good standing" with Keep America Beautiful, or are pre-certified and working on full certification.
Direct questions can be sent to KLB Affiliate Services Coordinator Melanie Peck at Melanie-Peck_klb@cox.net. All applicants are also invited to participate in a technical assistance conference call on January 13, 2010 at 1:00 p.m. To register for the call, applicants must email Peck no later than Monday, January 11, 2010. Applicants should note the grants have become highly competitive and funds are limited. All requirements and individual sections of the application should be given equal attention and considered carefully. KLB will only judge applications that specifically target its mission and will not award projects that have received previous funding.

Keep Louisiana Beautiful (KLB) is sponsoring its first poster design contest for students statewide. The contest called for entries from middle and high school students (grades 7-12). The program, created by KLB, gave Louisiana students the chance to design a portrait of what Louisiana would look like if citizens refrained from littering, recycled more and took time to beautify the state's landscape.
