 Call for Community Climate Action Projects |
 Seattle residents are passionate, committed and creative when to comes to making Seattle-and the world-better places. As individuals and as a community, Seattleites have helped our community become a national and international leader in sustainability. And, we know the community has more great ideas about how we can continue to be leaders by taking action at the neighborhood level to address climate change.
The City of Seattle is seeking community partners to help residents and businesses take action for the climate. We will be awarding contracts up to $7,000 for the projects and will be providing on-going project design support.
If you have an idea about how to inspire your community to make positive choices that support the environment, we want to work with you to make it happen! Deadline for proposals is April 27. More information on the program here.
