Bright Green Future School Grants
Bright Green Future Grants is a competitive program that provides funding for school-based sustainability projects up to $3,000. The program is sponsored by the City of Austin’s Office of Sustainability, and funded by Austin Resource Recovery, Watershed Protection, the Public Works Department, Austin Transportation, and Austin Energy.
The program was designed to recognize and support innovative projects that will inspire students to become lifelong environmental stewards. Projects that encompass composting systems, rainwater harvesting, organic gardens, rain gardens, bicycle academies, and wildlife habitats are identified by local educators and through campus EcoAudits; those that are selected to receive funding, actively engage students and members of the community with hands-on involvement and learning.
