Clean Air Council Announces Mini-grant Funding for Cobbs Creek Area Community Groups

PHILADELPHIA, PA (July 19, 2024) Today, Clean Air Council announced a round of mini-grant funding for Cobbs Creek area community groups. The Council is offering $1,000 and $2,000 dollar grants for civic groups, educators, and organizations to grow or offer new programming and activities that increase community engagement in Cobbs Creek Watershed. Activities can include but are not limited to learning opportunities, events, stewardship, workshops, and beautification efforts.  

“Mini-grant funding offers organizations and neighbors the opportunity to grow and create new connections to Cobbs Creek Watershed in ways they are interested in interacting with the natural environment, said Will Fraser, Clean Air Council Transportation Project Manager” 

Clean Air Council’s Cobbs Creek Watershed Mini-grant Program is focused on supporting projects and local organizations that connect residents and neighbors to green space and water resources. Growing neighbors’ relationship with their surrounding natural environment can contribute to increased mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing, while creating stronger bonds to their watershed. Mini-grant funding is made possible by generous funding support from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and the US Fish and Wildlife Service. 

Clean Air Council is available to meet and discuss proposals before July 24th, 2024 including questions about activities/programming, budget, and location of projects.
