We serve New Haven, East Haven, Hamden and Woodbridge residents by providing community grants for environmental initiatives that promote sustainability and a clean, healthy environment. Grants are available for up to $10,000.
Grant applications are now closed but you can apply for Microgrants (up to $1000) and Sponsorships throughout the year.
The following instructions are for regular grant applications (not the microgrants or sponsorhips). However, you can view them to get an idea of the application process that we currently use.
