The Japan-based Peace Stone Foundation is open to receive the 2009 grant applications from NGOs seeking support for educational projects for children who cannot afford to go to school. The grant applications should reach the office of the Foundation between 1 September and 31 October 2008. Please note that proposals have to be sent by mail only (no electronic submission) – so enough time is available now to work on this funding opportunity. The mailing address of the Foundation is available at its website. NGOs from South-East Asia, Africa and other regions can submit proposals and the effective date of project implementation begins from March 2009.
