The Trust is interested in several types of projects, including: Those that test highly promising new ideas for greater program or cost effectiveness; those that transfer to new locations some of the programs that have been demonstrated elsewhere to be very effective; and those that explore new ways of arranging partnerships for providing financial support to needed but costly programs.
