Environmental Seed Grants

URI Environmental Satellite CC is proud to launch its second Environmental Seed Grants program to support Cooperation Circles in creating “cultures of peace, justice, and healing for the Earth and all living beings.”

Again this year, the Seed Grants will place emphasis on supporting activities that address climate change, either in reducing the causes of climate change or adapting to its effects, and on activities that preserve the diversity and abundance of life on Earth. Along these lines, now that easily accessed fossil fuels have been largely depleted and current mining methods increasingly endanger the natural environment and human well being (e.g., deep-sea drilling for oil, strip mining of low-grade tar sands, hydrofracturing of natural gas, and mountaintop removal of coal), proposals that emphasize energy conservation and the use of renewable energy are especially invited.

These grants are made possible by the generosity of two individuals in the URI community in San Francisco, California, who have made a donation to promote URI's expanded involvement in environmental protection. Visit the URI website starting from Sunday, April 22, 2012 to find out about the four types of grants that will be offered and to learn how to apply!

We look forward to your applications!
