Environmental Education Fund Grant (Petoskey & Harbor Springs Area Community Foundation)

Environmental Education Grants is a grant from the Petoskey and Harbor Springs Area Community Foundation that funds nature-based learning for K-12 students in Emmet County, Michigan. Established in 2009, the Environmental Education Fund supports field trip transportation to local nature preserves, birding trails, state parks, fishing ponds, and farms; equipment such as binoculars, orienteering devices, and art supplies for deeper ecological observation; and specialized training for local educators and nonprofit staff in environmental education facilitation. Grants of up to 500 dollars are available to schools and nonprofit organizations. Since its founding the fund has helped nearly 5,000 Emmet County children and teens connect with the region's inland lakes, hardwood forests, coastal sand dunes, migratory bird paths, and Little Traverse Bay. Requests must be submitted before the proposed activity, as the foundation does not reimburse completed activities.

Commercial Grants Program (Decatur Downtown Development Authority) is sponsored by Decatur Downtown Development Authority. The Decatur Downtown Development Authority offers a commercial grants program to support small businesses and commercial property owners within the City of Decatur, Georgia. The program includes grants for exterior enhancements (Commercial Facade Improvement Grant), interior improvements (Commercial Buildout Improvement Grant), and marketing needs (Marketing and Digital Connectivity Grant).
