Greater New Haven Green Fund Now Accepting Applications for Funding
Green Fund now accepting grant applications for 2017 awards.
The Greater New Haven Green Fund promotes environmental quality and equity in the most environmentally distressed communities within the Greater New Haven area by providing local small grants to reduce pollution and create a more sustainable future. The Fund is seeking grant proposals for creative community based initiatives that impact air and water pollution, as well as land conservation, sustainability, environmental education and youth leadership.
This year the Green Fund is particularly interested in encouraging small grants of maximum amount of $3000 from grassroots organizations and has carved out $18,000 of the total $48,000 to be used for this purpose; $10,000 for small grants and $8000 for microgrants. These smaller grants can be used for mission support and organizational capacity building as well as other projects that fit the priority areas of the Fund.
The Green Fund will also award $10,000 from the Community Benefits Agreement with Public Service Enterprise Group, Inc. (PSEG), owner of the Harbor Power Plant in New Haven. The Fund seeks innovative proposals for activities that advance air quality initiatives in the areas of public education and outreach, public health studies, environmental justice and environmental analysis.
The deadline for 2017 applications is Thursday, January 12, 2017 at 4:00 PM. Please check out the website for the Greater New Haven Green Fund at www.gnhgreenfund.org for further information and to download the application forms. Application forms are listed under the grants subpage titled small and large grants.
The New Haven Green Fund is a non profit 501(c)3 organization that incorporated in 2006. It is administered by an independent board representing both local expertise and the communities that comprise the Greater New Haven Water Pollution service area.
