The Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen got me thinking. It's been a while since I wrote a grant application for an environmental project and I wanted to know the current grants strategy. Was I surprised. The sheer variety of grants floored me.
Live Green Toronto is the City's website devoted to climate change issues. Much helpful information and a generous list of incentives available to homeowners, businesses, non-profits, corporations, entrepreneurs and community agencies.
Sustainable Energy Funds provide low-interest financing to help overcome the barrier created by high upfront costs for energy efficiency measures in buildings (new or retrofitted) and renewable energy projects. Toronto parks and trees foundation is the principal funder of the city’s community gardens. Clean and Beautiful City programs support farmers markets throughout the city and Toronto’s Eco-Roof Incentive Program funds green and cool roofs on Toronto’s commercial buildings.
