City of Flagstaff Neighborhood Sustainability Grants Open September 1-30th

The City of Flagstaff Sustainability Office and Sustainability Commission is pleased to announce that the annual application period for the Neighborhood Sustainability Grants Program is open from September 1st – 30th. The program inspires projects that enhance sustainability and foster community partnerships.

Grant awards of up to $7,500 are available. Groups, nonprofits, individuals, and businesses with sustainability-related projects within Flagstaff city limits are invited to apply. Specifically, the Sustainability Commission is seeking community-centered projects in the categories of food, waste, climate action, resilience, transportation, building energy, and public health. The Flagstaff Sustainability Commission made up of seven Flagstaff residents, will review and determine awardees.

Last year, ten local groups and individuals received awards. A few of the projects include energy-efficient lighting improvements at the Harbert Chapel, Flagstaff Disc Golf Club’s installation of locally made bike racks at two disc golf courses, and the Arizona 4H Youth Foundation’s implementation of a Community Horticultural Therapy program at Killip Elementary.

A grant workshop will be held on Thursday, September 7th from 5:30-7:00 pm at the Flagstaff Sustainability Office (419 N. Mogollon St., Flagstaff, AZ 86001) and over Microsoft Teams. Grant guidelines, application instructions, and workshop registration can be found here: www.flagstaff.az.gov/albertsgrant.
