The SWACO General Grants are designed to assist projects that further SWACO’s mission of reducing waste, increasing recycling and treating solid waste as a resource. Local governments including cities, townships, villages and other governmental organizations, public and private schools and school districts and 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations can apply for SWACO’s 2012 General Grants Program.
SWACO Executive Director Ron Mills states that “SWACO grants have stimulated local groups to move ahead or expand many projects that needed just a few more dollars. These projects teach recycling, reuse, waste reduction, composting and sustainability. We hope they will inspire others to move ahead with their ideas and projects.”
Grant recipients are required to provide a 25% cash match or can choose a combination of cash and in-kind services. The deadline for applications is Friday, April 13, 2012, at 5:00 pm.
Past grant recipients include Ohio State University, Furniture Bank of Central Ohio, Washington Township, City of Whitehall, Westerville City Schools, Otterbein College and Capital Crossroads Downtown Recycling
