Approximately 20 grants of up to $1,000 will be awarded in 1997 by
Cottonwood Foundation, a small foundation that provides grants to grass
roots organizations internationally that combine activities in all of the
following four areas: protecting the environment, promoting cultural
diversity, empowering people to meet their basic needs, and relying on
volunteer efforts.

Grants are also available to indigenous peoples' organizations for
repurchasing their land base in order to preserve their culture and their
environment.
