PROJECT:
Sustainable Communities Grant

 

PURPOSE: The Neighborhood Services Division administers the Sustainable Communities Grant, which provides funds for neighborhood organizations to help reduce pollution and their carbon footprint. The grant is available countywide in amounts ranging between $500 and $5,000. Applications are accepted year-round and are reviewed quarterly by the Neighborhood Grants Advisory Board. The Environmental Protection Division (EPD) helped to develop the grant's criteria and assists applicants in developing projects that reduce pollution and their carbon footprint. Organizations are required to provide a letter of support from EPD, which has been provided for these projects. Finally, the organization is required to sign a letter of agreement recognizing the responsibilities throughout the grant process, document the appropriate match, and demonstrate an ability to maintain the project. Eight grants were awarded for the third quarter with the total amount awarded being $32,358. The grant requests are displayed in detail in Attachments A through I.
