Call for applications are invited at Together Green Fellowships and Innovation Grants. Audubon & Toyota Seek to Fund Promising Conservation Leaders & Community-Based Projects.
Together Green Innovation Grants annually offer essential funding which enables Audubon groups and others to inspire, equip and support activities which engage innovative and diverse audiences in conservation action and create healthier communities. A minimum of 40 projects will receive funding, totaling more than $1 million of support—with grants ranging from $5,000-$80,000. Grants will be reviewed by an expert advisory panel and the average grant awarded will be around $25,000.
Together Green, a conservation alliance between the National Audubon Society and Toyota, is accepting applications for its 2012 class of Fellows and Innovation Grantees. The main aim of the initiative is to promote conservation leadership, achieve conservation results, forge partnerships in communities and engage millions of Americans in conservation action.
Together Green Conservation Fellowships invest in individuals who are committed to empowering others and to creating positive environmental change in their communities and organizations. Fellows receive a $10,000 grant to conduct a 12-month conservation action project in their community, as well as specialized training and support to help shape and implement their projects. They also become part of a dynamic alumni network of conservation professionals from across the country.
Since 2008, Together Green-funded projects have engaged more than 200,000 individuals in conservation in all 50 states. The first three classes of Fellows and Grantees have accomplished inspiring results, recruiting thousands of volunteers to help make environmental improvements in their communities, as planting over 110,000 native plants and trees, engaging more than 100,000 individuals in environmental education, and improving nearly 10,000 acres through conservation action.
