PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Each local foundation in the Collective gives grants to local grass roots environmental heroes, who're tackling a big local environmental issue in an innovative and game-changing way. They aren't like the 'other' funders in this space, they are flexible, led by local know how and willing to work with grantees to make the application and funding reporting manageable. The result is that projects who're best able to use the money get it and it makes the biggest impact possible.
