The Grants Program offers two tiers of funding:

(2) Mini-Grants ($1,000 to $5,000).

The purpose of the grants is to help eligible entities (nonprofits, schools, or government agencies) create, implement, and expand programs that promote reuse, waste reduction, recycling, and composting or education about these environmental issues in San Mateo County.

The application deadline is Wednesday, January 31st, 2018 at 6 p.m. For additional information, please visit: http://www.smcsustainability.org/waste-reduction/reduce-reuse-recycle/.
