microgrant application process
1Micro grant applications will be considered on a rolling basis from January 1, 2021 to December 1, 2021.
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.
