The Shubert Foundation awards grants for general operating support to professional, not-for-profit resident theaters in the United States. Grants are awarded based on the organization's record of artistic achievement, audience-building, fiscal responsibility, administrative strength and several other considerations. See the long list of 2005 grant recipients, then apply for your very own grant. Applications must be submitted by December 1, 2006. Fully audited financial statements are required by February 1, 2007.

If you need to know a little bit about a lot of medically-oriented companies worldwide, I have the site for you. Espicom hopes you'll purchase its detailed corporate intelligence reports (expensive) but if you can't, you'll find some nice mini-profiles, free on the Web site. Look in the left margin for links to Country Market Analysis, Company Analysis, and Special Reports.

THE FOUNDATION CENTER'S PHILANTHROPY NEW DIGEST: FUNDING FOR ARTS
During the month of October, the Foundation Center assembled a collection of arts-related resources, news articles and newsmaker interviews in a special issue. There are at least eight pages (even before accessing the articles) so be cautious about printing it.

We've received updates on the BRICK Awards mentioned in the October 2006 issue. The BRICK Awards recognize and support social change-makers under the age of 25 (as of April 12, 2007). Since 1996, the BRICK Awards have honored young people making our world a better place.
The 2007 BRICK Awards accepts applications from citizens and permanent residents of Canada and the U.S. All BRICK Award winners "have a shot at $25,000 in grants and scholarships, international recognition and televised glory." Applications are due December 1, 2006.
