Brown Rudnick Charitable Foundation Seeks Proposals for Inner-City Education
Relationship Grants

 Deadline: September 27, 2007

 Brown Rudnick Charitable Foundation Corp., a nonprofit, tax-exempt
entity established by international law firm Brown Rudnick Berlack Israels
LLP
( http://www.brownrudnick.com/ ), is accepting proposals for its 2008
Relationship Grants. The foundation's Relationship Grant program seeks to
improve inner-city education by developing a relationship with a nonprofit
organization
that includes providing financial support, pro bono legal representation,
and volunteer time.

 Relationship Grants are awarded annually to organizations for the purpose
of
addressing the educational needs of less enfranchised individuals and groups

within the geographic boundaries of Boston, Hartford, New York City, and/or
Providence.
For its 2008 grant program, the foundation has expanded its geographic reach
and for
 the first time will accept proposals for Washington, D.C., where Brown
Rudnick has
a fast-growing office.

 This year the foundation anticipates that a least one significant
Relationship Grant will
be awarded for a proposal which seeks to provide an innovative means of
addressing the
issue of school truancy and drop-outs. Proposals relating to that issue are
specifically invited.

 Proposals may be in any amount between $5,000 and $50,000 each.
 (A project encompassing more than one city may exceed this amount up to
a total of $75,000.) Grants will be awarded for one calendar year, 2008,
with the possibility of renewal for additional periods thereafter.

 Grant application forms and an explanation of the program can be found at
the
foundation's Web site.
