Congratulations to the 2024 Green Grants Awardees!
We’ve had a wonderful time announcing the 30 Green Grants awards for 2024 throughout the month of June! The awardees were from organizations across much of the Commonwealth, with plans for Community Beautification, Cigarette Litter Prevention Programs, Litter Prevention, and Recycling and Waste Reduction efforts that will surely improve our natural and scenic environment!
The number of grant applications we receive each year continues to grow, with over three times the number of applications than the 30 awards. It’s difficult for the panel of expert judges to narrow it down to the top contenders, and we appreciate their time and expertise.
We’ll share photos and triumphs as their goals are accomplished between now and October 1st. Below is the list of awards, along with a link to the Latest News blog posts for each announcement. We hope that you’ll be read them and be inspired or even motivated to plan a similar event in your community!
We’re especially grateful to our sponsors who make this program possible!
