Sustainable Jersey Small Grants Deadline is Oct. 31

School districts and municipal governments have until Oct. 31 to apply for environmental grants in the Sustainable Jersey Small Grants Program.

Two grants of $30,000 and nine grants of $10,000 will be awarded for energy projects that focus on conservation, efficiency, and renewable energy.

Project categories include innovative energy projects; energy resiliency, including microgrids or energy storage; renewable energy installations; electric vehicle policies; energy education; energy studies and engineering.

Eligible expenses are salaries, contractor and consultant costs, equipment, materials, and supplies. Facilities and administrative costs are not eligible.

Municipal governments may apply only if they are in New Jersey and are registered with or certified by Sustainable Jersey, and if they also have a Green Team.

Applicants are urged to take part in an information webinar scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 19. The hour-long webinar will start at 3 p.m. and include information about the application process, potential project ideas, and the online submissions procedure.

The Small Grants Program is funded the Gardinier Environmental Fund. To apply or for more information, go online to  www.sustainablejersey.com.
