Applications for this year’s MassDEP Reduce, Reuse, Repair Micro-Grants open April 15! Applications are due May 15 by 5:00 p.m. ET.
The Micro-Grant provides awards from $3,000 (min) to $10,000 (max) for projects that reduce waste through donation, sharing, rescue, reuse, and/or repair. Nonprofits, businesses, schools and colleges, regional authorities, and municipalities are all eligible to apply. Projects must be based in Massachusetts and may take up to one year to complete. Recycling and composting projects are not eligible.
