Does anyone know whether the re-launch of the Kimberly Fund has actually taken place?
The latest information I see here on Colon Talk dates back to 2019 -- over 5 years ago, and the last time The Kimberly Fund Director logged in here was also over five years ago. What I was expecting to see was a timely announcement here on Colon Talk saying that applications are now open, but I have not seen any such announcement.
The only announcement here on Colon Talk is over five years old, and I'm not sure that the application form here is still valid:

Maybe now the applications have to be submitted over on the FightCRC website instead :
