Each year Quaker Earthcare Witness offers matching $500 grants to diverse Friends meetings, groups, churches, and organizations to support their community’s vision of caring for the Earth and each other through its Mini-Grants Program. Past funded projects have included butterfly and pollinator gardens, an ecological literacy program for kids, a bike-lending program, and an environmental justice internship for a Guilford College student of color. Now they’re trying to raise money to help fund future projects with a focus on promoting environmental justice and engaging youth. Please consider making a donation here or visit their website for more information.
