Bright Green Future simplifies grant process
Monday, August 31, 2020 by Tai Moses
The Bright Green Future school grant program has made some changes to its application process in the hopes of simplifying the process for the 2020-21 school year. The program, which provides up to $3,000 in funding for sustainability-themed school projects, has pushed its application window to Oct. 12-26. The second change is, according to the announcement, “instead of applying with original project ideas, we will be offering a menu of options for schools to choose from. These options will be sustainability themed curriculums offered through local nonprofit organizations. The main benefit of this change is that all curriculums can be completed whether you are meeting in the classroom or virtually.” These options will be posted to the Bright Green Future grant page by Sept. 12.
