New in 2021 – Community Folios

Community Folios will now be required if a community is applying for grant awards.

The purpose for these folios is as follows:

• To add educational components that result in capacity building within your organization and its members
• Help you keep a history of what you have worked on during your participation in the program
• Help guide you through community assessment if your community is interested
• Assist you in keeping track of your year of work
• Serve as a document for an easier succession transition

Only one folio is required per community applying for awards. Required list on folios must be met. The more education acquired by the community lends applications higher consideration. For more information contact PRIDE@ksu.edu
