GRANTS: New England Grassroots Fund
New England Grassroots Fund. The New England Grassroots Environment Fund grant programs aim to energize and nurture long-term civic engagement in local initiatives that create and maintain healthy, just, safe, and environmentally sustainable communities throughout the six New England states. The Grassroots Fund is currently accepting applications for Seed grants, designed to support new (often less than one year old) environmental projects, and Grow grants, for initiatives that look to deepen their work or broaden participation.
Grants focus on groups doing local, grassroots work, with priority on community groups that have an approximate annual operating budget under $100,000, represent a broad range of voices in their community, and are not being reached by other funders.
The Grassroots Fund's grant programs are designed to energize and nurture long term civic engagement in local initiatives that create and maintain healthy, just, safe and environmwntally sustainable communities.
They offer three grant programs for different types of groups:
- Seed grants are designed to support new (often less than 1 year old) environmental projects.
- Grow grants support initiatives that look to deepen their work or broaden participation.
- The Young Leaders program supports efforts with significant leadership by organizers under 25 years old.
