School grants to support environmental stewardship, from Bright Green Future

Bright Green Future Grants is a competitive program that provides funding of up to $3,000 for school-based sustainability projects. The program was designed to recognize and support innovative projects that inspire K-12 students to become lifelong environmental stewards.

HOW IT WORKS

Projects in public, charter and private schools that encompass composting systems, rainwater harvesting, organic gardens, rain gardens, bicycle academies, and wildlife habitats are identified by local educators and through campus EcoAudits. Those that are selected to receive funding actively engage students and members of the community with hands-on involvement and learning.
