We are pleased to introduce an innovative program that supports our vision of sustainability. This grant stream will support more comprehensive projects perhaps with distinct phases that are conducted over a longer period of time. This new initiative will help groups improve their organizational effectiveness and be more strategic in planning and implementing work that leads to sustained environmental benefits. Application and reporting will be undertaken in consultation with foundation staff.
Maximum grant is $60,000, to be distributed over a maximum term of 3 years.
Note: These grants will be available as funds permit. We expect to consider up to a maximum of three per year.
