Grant Recipients
The Sustainable Communities Grant program, a partnership between Northwestern's Office of Neighborhood and Community Relations, ULRI, and ULSE, supports grassroots environmental stewardship and community engagement through grants awarded to local nonprofits annually.
Grant recipients are community-based organizations that work to advance innovative, community-driven solutions to environmental and sustainability challenges. These projects address key priorities such as environmental resilience, climate action, and equitable access to healthy, sustainable resources.
