Environmental Council Sustainability Grants
Request for Proposals
Thanks to President Ron Liebowitz the Environmental Council is again able to provide grants to Middlebury College students, staff and faculty. Sustainability is doing something, big or small, that moves us in the direction of ecological health, economic prosperity, and social benefit. It can be as simple as teaching a child how to garden, as challenging as becoming a "zero-waste" institution or as fun as putting on a "teach-in" to help people learn how to reduce their ecological footprints. We are interested in any projects that will result in a more sustainable campus and community.
Requests can be for as little as $50 or as much as $1,500. Any sustainability related proposal is welcome. Extra weight will be given to proposals that are:
- collaborative efforts between some combination of students,
faculty, staff;
- already established, and ready for the next level with
additional funding;
- able to be completed within the current academic year.
Send applications to Jack Byrne, Campus Sustainability Coordinator, email: jmbyrne@middlebury.edu. Tel: 802-443-5043 mail: Middlebury College, 23 Adirondack View, Middlebury, VT 05753
