MICROGRANT APPLICATIONS are open throughout the year on a rolling basis. Contact us first at grants@gnhgreenfund.org before you apply to make sure that we still have funds available.
Microgrant Application Process
Micro grant applications will be considered on a rolling basis throughout the year.
Generally, microgrants support single events such as conferences, neighborhood fairs, school environmental oriented events such as ecofairs, financial support for equipment for citizen science projects, initiatives from grassroots groups that have a new idea that they would like to try. Some examples of our awards supported fishing lessons for families (Fixing Fathers, Inc), an Ecofair at Metropolitan Business Academy, New Haven CT, Booker T Washington Academy science fair, equipment to sample fish in New Haven Harbor, videographer costs for taping a community outreach event for residential stormwater and combined sewer overflow education in the West River neighborhood, and brochures for community environmental grassroots groups. The request needs to be related to our areas of interest. Our issue areas of interest
Micro grants (up to $1000) will be considered on a rolling basis at regular board meetings based on submission of a letter request on your organizational stationery. You are not required to have a nonprofit designation from the United States Internal Revenue Service. Your organization may have an Employer Identification Number (EIN) or use a personal tax payer identification number in order to receive grant money from us. Micro grants will be considered on a rolling basis throughout the year.
You should state briefly in no more than two (2) pages: (a) a description of your organization and its membership with contact information; (b) the group and community or area the grant will benefit; (c) what specific activities you will undertake with the funds, including use of funds; (d) a budget; and (e) what you hope to accomplish with the funds related to the Green Fund’s areas of interest.
