Thank You

Thank You with EarthThank you to everyone who submitted a Green Grant application!  It’s wonderful to see all the sustainable practices and ideas that are happening across the Commonwealth!  We received applications from nonprofits, cities and town’s municipalities, faith-based organizations, schools, and other organizations.  Thirty will be awarded grants that will be announced in June!

We want to thank our panel of experts, whose areas of expertise are as varied as the applications.  Their task it is now to read, evaluate, and score all the applications!  Here are this year’s judges:

  • Valenda Campbell, Vice President, Director of Marketing, Village Bank
  • Carol W. Doss, Former KVB Board member, Keep SW Virginia Beautiful
  • Kathy Emerson, Richmond Artist
  • Kris Ferguson, KVB Board Member, Ferguson Environmental Consulting
  • Lane Guilliam, former KVB Board member, Dir. of Development, Habitat for Humanity (Roanoke)
  • Julia Hillegass, KVB Board Member, Agricultural Reserve City of Virginia Beach
  • Eunice Kulesza, former Sr. Environmental Compliance Specialist at Fareva

  • Suzanne Taylor, Dept. of Environmental Quality
  • Chris Vassey, Attorney-at-Law, KVB Board member
  • Julie Williams-Daves, Hazardous Waste Disposal division of Emergency Response and Training Solutions

We’re extremely grateful to our sponsors, Altria, WestRock, and Village Bank.  Without their support the Green Grants program would not be possible.

If you submitted a grant application, be sure to check our Green Grants webpage, where we’ll announce one grant award each day in June!

Check out our other Social channels to see all the projects and programs that are funded – maybe you can use some of the ideas in your community!
