Check out this guest post from Matt over at Brighter Planet:
Over the last two years Brighter Planet has heard from thousands of individuals and community organizations about their efforts to build a 21st century low carbon economy. To support this work, we recently launched the Project Fund: a monthly micro-grant program that seeks to foster local leadership and seed worthy community projects that will help people fight or adapt to climate change. If you’re looking to fund a project on your campus or in your community, this could be your opportunity; next month we’re giving up to $5,000.
Here’s how it works: Complete the short application at the Project Fund homepage and make a case for how your project will fight climate change. We’ll put it on our site, and members of the Brighter Planet community will vote on projects they like. The project(s) with the most votes will receive funding.
The deadline for the November voting period is October 27th. Want to weatherize the old buildings at your school? Want to invite a climate leader to speak in your community? We know you have the ideas; let’s make them happen.
