Seed Grants Program
Awards small grants in support of grassroots efforts and community-based environmental work in New England. The Grassroots Fund utilizes participatory grantmaking to move resources to New England grassroots groups. Seed grants prioritize support for community groups who represent a broad range of voices in their community and who are not being reached by other funders.
Additional Information:
The Seed grant program is geared towards groups launching new projects or starting to significantly change the direction of an existing project. Most often, groups have been working on the project less than a year and usually don't yet have much direct experience with implementing the idea. The Grassroots Fund interprets the word 'environment' broadly and provides funding for a wide range of activities.
