Strong Foundation Accepting Applications for California Environmental Project Grants
The Strong Foundation for Environmental Values awards grants for efforts that instill an ecological ethic in the individual and communities, and which encourage grassroots environmental action.
One-year grants rants of up to $5,000 will be awarded for environmental projects situated in Northern California, the Central Valley, and the Sierra Nevada, including the entire California-Oregon Klamath River watershed and the watersheds that arise in the Sierras and terminate in Nevada's terminal lakes. The foundation's definition of Northern California extends from the Oregon border in the north down to and ending at the San Luis Obispo, Ventura, Los Angeles, and San Bernardino county lines in the south.
Projects should involve environmental and conservation efforts, eco-spirituality, grassroots action, environmental education, capacity building, citizen participation, collaborative efforts, innovative programs, land acquisition, and/or planning and training. Climate change programs at the community level are also encouraged.
The foundation does not fund conferences, expeditions, exhibitions, film festivals, lobbying, political campaigns, debt retirement, mortgage reduction, emergency grants, endowments, fellowships, professorships, scholarships, or program-related investment.
To be eligible, applicants must be a nonprofit organization as defined under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code or have a fiscal sponsor that is tax-exempt.
