Keep Virginia Beach Beautiful Gets 30 in 30

Keep Virginia Beach Beautiful, one of our affiliates, has been awarded a $1000 30 in 30 grant in the Recycling Category. Our Thirty Grants in 30 Days program focuses greater resources and attention on organizations and individual localities throughout the Commonwealth and how they are addressing the issues of litter prevention, recycling, waste reduction, beautification and education.

We provided the opportunity for government, non-profit and/or service organizations in Virginia to apply for one of our 30 in 30 grants of $500 to $1,000 in three different categories: Litter Prevention, Recycling, and Community Beautification. These grants are made possible by Lowe’s Charitable and Educational Foundation and MeadWestvaco.

Keep Virginia Beach Beautiful (KVBB) is one of Keep America Beautiful’s newest affiliates and they are already setting an example in their community by expanding and improving upon Virginia Beach’s recycling program. KVBB plans to purchase more large recycling carts for 2 beach area parks. It is not only important to KVBB to increase recycling rates, but also to reduce litter and protect their best asset; the Atlantic Ocean. We are thrilled to add Keep Virginia Beach Beautiful to our growing family and to offer them a 30 in 30 grant to help give their recycling initiative an opportunity to expand.
