Innovation Grants

The TogetherGreen Innovation Grants Program supports creative and ambitious projects that engage diverse communities and find innovative solutions to environmental challenges.

TogetherGreen one-year grants fund projects that:

• Conserve or restore habitat and protect species, improve water quality or quantity, and reduce the threat of global warming;
• Engage new and diverse audiences in conservation actions; and
• Inspire and use innovative approaches and technologies to engage people and achieve conservation results.

Innovation Grants awards go to organizations in the Audubon network, working with partners in their communities, who have the passion, commitment, and vision to move people to take action and achieve lasting conservation results.

In 2010, we will award at least 40 grants, ranging from $5,000 to $80,000, with an average grant size of $25,000. Note that requests above this amount are likely to face considerably more competition than requests of or below $25,000.

In addition, we will be offering three to five planning grants of $5,000 or less. See Planning Grants for details.

The deadline for 2010 applications has now passed. Awards will be made in early August.
