The deadline for the Conservation Project grant program of IMLS is barely a month away, and now is the last opportunity to prepare an application that has a reasonable chance of funding success.  The process requires an organized, strategic approach, but can be done even by small organizations provided that you meet all of IMLS's eligibility requirements.  I would be glad to assist you in putting together an application at no cost to you.  We may even be able to design a project that does not require any cash match.  However, we must begin immediately.  My only caveat is that your project must fit within the areas in which I have expertise, listed below.  This opportunity is first-come, first-served until the open time in my schedule is filled.  Please let me know if I may be of assistance.
