Congratulations to all of the 2023 Green Grant Awardees!
We continue to be impressed by the plans and ideas that organizations want to put into action with a Green Grant award. The judging panel has such a challenging task to evaluate and score all the grant applications. We sincerely appreciate the work they do, both in their professional fields, and as a volunteer for our organization. Thank you Green Grant judges!
Thank you to everyone who submitted an application. We wish we could fund them all! We’re encouraged by the work of volunteers at civic groups, nonprofits, faith-based communities, and others that are striving to improve the natural and scenic environment of the Commonwealth.
And of course the program wouldn’t be possible without the funding and support of our sponsors: Altria, WestRock, and Village Bank! We are very grateful for their generous and continued support!
