DISCRETIONARY GRANTSIn addition to our competitive grant program, Sustainable Path maintains a smaller supplementary fund that allows us to support worthy initiatives that come to our attention outside of the competitive grant cycle. Our discretionary grants program provides us with the versatility to support programs and projects that may require more immediate funding. Discretionary grants are generally $5,000 or less, and although processed over a shorter time frame than our competitive grants, they are reviewed with the same underlying principles. We do not accept unsolicited applications for discretionary grants. |
“We appreciate having the improved ability to communicate with Sustainable Path Foundation about our project. Having a site liaison has facilitated our ability to gain access to support beyond funding. Since this is a project dealing with pharmaceutical issues and our site liaison, as well as many Sustainable Path members have expertise in this field, Sustainable Path has provided us with even more non-monetary support.” - Eva Dale, Washington Citizens for Resource Conservation (2008) “I think the process itself is – actually – fun and productive. I have enjoyed the chance to have an in-depth discussion of my work and ideas with the grants committee.” - Phil Mitchell, 2People (2008) |
