Environment

glasswaters foundation is deeply concerned about the degradation of the environment. Our primary focus is on the impacts of non-renewable resource extraction to the land and its resident communities. Our main granting program supports organizations and grassroots initiatives working to assess, monitor and invoke change.

In 2017 the Opportunity Grants program was initiated to support local community groups working on a variety of sustainability and community resilience projects. These small and nimble grants are intended to allow groups to take advantage of unexpected opportunities – to extend a speaking tour to a local venue, to travel to a conference, to print materials for local organizing or other needs that arise.

ENVIRONMENT GRANTS

glasswaters also recognizes the need for independent, publicly available, research and education on a broad range of environmental issues. Contracted articles and information are published and distributed by the WATERSHED SENTINEL EDUCATION SOCIETY via print and electronic media, public workshops and presentations, and information conferences.
