Does anyone know of any environmental project grants for schools that I could get?
I need $ 10,000.
If one agency alone cannot fund this, could I get multiple grants?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

PSNH and its parent company, Northeast Utilities, are committed to helping the communities they serve protect the environment and preserve their rural charm.
Established in 1999, PSNH’s Environmental Community Grant Program provides support to nonprofit organizations, within the company’s service territory, that foster environmental preservation, improvement or education. Grants are awarded each spring and fall. The deadlines for submitting grants are April 15th and October 15th.
Environmental Community Grant Program
NU’s Environmental Community Grant Program funds local community and grassroots environmental projects that are often overlooked by large grant programs.
How does it work?
Grants between $ 250 and $ 1,000 are awarded in Connecticut, Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Applications are reviewed by a team of NU employees.
Where Must Selected Projects Be Located?
Grant applications must be from organizations served by Connecticut Light and Power(CL&P), Western Massachusetts Electric Company(WMECO), or Public Service of New Hampshire(PSNH).
What kinds of projects are eligible?
Eligible projects protect or preserve the environment, or teach others the value of doing so. Examples include:
* Providing education on environmental issues of local interest to adults or children.
* Improving the environment through organized cleanup projects (such as cleaning up a park, part of a stream or a vacant lot) or by reclaiming and rehabilitating damaged environments.
* Improving a local wildlife habitat.
* Starting and maintaining a recycling program.
What are some examples of grants that have been awarded?
* Funding to the Massachusetts Audubon Society to develop detailed maps and guides using geo-positioning technology for High Ledges Wildlife Sanctuary in Shelburne, Massachusetts.
* A grant to the New Hampshire Natural Resources Commission to develop a trail sign system at Sargent Town Forest in Pittsfield, New Hampshire.
* Funding to Connecticut College to study biodiversity in power line corridors.
