Apply for a grant of up to $75,000 by 4 p.m. Friday, September 16.
The City’s Environmental Justice Fund is currently accepting submissions from the Office of Sustainability and Environment. This fund, which was established in 2017, promotes initiatives whose beneficiaries or leaders include those most affected by environmental and climatic disparities, such as Black, Indigenous, and Individuals of Color (BIPOC) communities, immigrants, refugees, low-income people, young people, and the elderly. A total of $750,000 is available this year, with award levels ranging from $25,000 to $75,000. We are looking for proposals from nonprofit organizations and community groups that are striving to improve environmental justice and address the effects of climate change.
The deadline is 4 p.m. on Friday, September 16. The application link and more information can be found on our website here.
For those with further questions or in need of assistance, we’re offering several ways to get in touch. Prospective applicants can:
