During this Season of Giving,
Help Us DOUBLE the Eco-Grants
We Award to Student Environmentalists

You + Our Students = Exponential Eco-Impact!

As you know, we award our most impactful student teams with Eco-Grants of $250 to $1,000 to expand the impact of their environmental projects. The importance of these Eco-Grants can't be overstated! In addition to expanding their projects' reach, these funds...

  • Inspire students to continue pursuing their dreams for a cleaner and greener environment
  • Serve as a key motivator throughout the year to complete our program
  • Teach our students that hard work and dedication deserve a reward
  • Ensure our most active teams stay involved with Grades of Green
  • Provide a powerful incentive to recruit new students

We need your help to double the amount of Eco-Grants and stipends we provide to our students and teachers. 
 

Help Us Reach Our $30,000 Goal!

Single filers can deduct up to $300 in donations and married couples can deduct up to $600 on the 2021 tax returns that taxpayers will file early next year...." - Read the full article here

But Don't Take Our Word For It!
