Dear Colleagues,

Round 4 of the International Deaf Children's Society Small Grants  
Programme (SGP) opens on 1 June 2005.

SGP offers grants of up to £10,000 for projects that offer measurable  
and sustainable improvements to the individual lives of deaf children  
and their families. This could be through:

* empowering deaf children, young deaf people and their families by  
bringing them together to  discuss common issues and advocate for the  
improvement of services; or
* developing or improving services which empower deaf children, young  
deaf people and/or their families in the areas of early years  
support, education, emotional and social development, vocational  
training and youth programmes.

All projects must include activities which are either led by parents  
or young deaf people or which work towards the full participation of  
parents or young people.

If your organisation is registered in one of the SGP eligible  
countries, and can demonstrate that it has the capacity to manage the  
grant funds then you could apply to Round 4 of SGP.

Applications are only accepted if they are in the SGP concept note  
format and they must be submitted before 31 July 2005. The following  
documents can be downloaded in English from http://www.idcs.info/sgp/ 
useful_documents/index.html and in Spanish from http://www.idcs.info/ 
sgp/useful_documents/documentacin_de.html

* The Background Information leaflet containing details of the full  
eligibility criteria
* The list of eligible countries
* The Guidance on applying to SGP and Concept Note Format

IDCS can only correspond with applicants in English, but you may  
apply for translation costs as part of your grant.

If you have problems accessing the internet or downloading the  
documents, please e-mail me at kirsty.wilson at idcs.info and I will  
send you the documents by e-mail, fax or post.

The deadline for concept note submissions will be 31 July 2005 and we  
would expect projects to start no sooner than January 2006. If you  
have any further questions about SGP please contact me at the address  
below.

Please forward this e-mail to any organisations or colleagues that

Estimado colega:

Por la presente, damos a conocer que la Ronda 4 del programa de becas  
(SGP) de la Sociedad Internacional de Niños Sordos (IDCS) entrará en  
vigencia a partir del 1º de junio de 2005.

El SGP ofrece becas de hasta 10.000 libras esterlinas para  
subvencionar proyectos que brinden mejoras notables y sostenibles en  
la vida de los niños sordos y sus familias. Estos resultados son  
posibles si:

*    Se conferiren poderes a niños y jóvenes sordos, y a sus familias  
mediante reuniones para tratar temas en común y abogar por la mejora  
de servicios; o bien,
*    Se desarrollan o mejoran aquellos servicios que confieren  
poderes a niños y jóvenes sordos, y/o a sus familias en las áreas de  
apoyo en temprana edad, educación, desarrollo emocional y social,  
formación vocacional y programas para jóvenes.

Todos los proyectos deben incluir actividades dirigidas por padres o  
jóvenes sordos, o que apunten a la participación total de padres o  
jóvenes.

Si su organismo está registrado en uno de los países con derecho a  
solicitar el SGP, y puede demostrar que tiene la capacidad para  
administrar los fondos de la beca, aproveche la Ronda 4 del SGP.

Las solicitudes sólo se aceptarán en el Formato de Nota conceptual  
del SGP y deben recibirse antes del 31 de julio de 2005. Puede  
descargar los siguientes documentos en español: http://www.idcs.info/ 
sgp/useful_documents/documentacin_de.html

criterios de idoneidad
*    La lista de países con derecho a solicitar el SGP
*    Las pautas para solicitar el SGP y Formato de Nota Conceptual

La IDCS sólo puede recibir y mantener correspondencia con los  
solicitantes en inglés, aunque puede incluir los costos de traducción  
como parte de la beca.

Si tiene problemas para acceder a Internet o para descargar los  
documentos, por favor envíeme un correo electrónico  
kirsty.wilson at idcs.info y recibirá los documentos vía correo  
electrónico, fax o correo postal.

El plazo de entrega para las solicitudes es el 31 de julio de 2005 y
