Sustainability Project Funds

Purpose of Funds

These funds are focused on small sustainability projects and/or larger projects that need financial support to get started. See Part I to help generate ideas and see typical needs. Part I is a standard list to make applying easier (click here to see a list of ideas). Items that fall outside Part I categories should be included in the optional Part II. The information in the application will be used to evaluate and award Project Funds, so please include all pertinent details. Although these funds are a one-time award, applications with lasting impacts are preferred.
