Greetings FNCI Artist and Friends:


The First Nations Composer Initiative is excited to announce that we are now accepting proposals for Round III of our Common Ground Grant Program.  If you are a past recipient, please feel free to act as a FNCI ambassador and pass the word on to other composers/musicians/performers you know.  FNCI is here to answer questions and provide as much technical assistance as we possibly can.  If you have applied in the past and have not been awarded a grant, we highly encourage you to re-apply.

The RFP can be found on line at http://www.fnci.org or if you prefer a brochure mailed to you, just email or call us and we can mail one out.

The deadline for the Round III is:  April 1st 2008 and Round IV Deadline is October 1st 2008.  Please do not hesitate to call or email us with any questions.  I can be reached at 651-251-2825 or gwettlinlarsen@composersfourm.org.  My assistant Jewell Arcoren can be reached at 651-251-2812 or jarcoren@composersforum.org.  We look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,



Georgia Wettlin-Larsen
FNCI Program Director
