DANIELSON — The Last Green Valley, Inc. (TLGV) announced it will provide funds to nonprofit organizations and municipal, regional, state or federal agencies that sponsor a 2013 Earth Month or River Cleanup in the region. Last year, more than 1,000 volunteers removed about 12 tons of trash from rivers, parks, and roads. TLGV will reimburse organizations up to $500 for expenses like publicity, cleanup supplies such as trash bags and work gloves, and food for volunteers. TLGV will also help publicize the event and work with each organization to recruit more volunteers.
Interested organizations should submit a letter to TLGV, on their organization’s letterhead, at least six weeks before the proposed event. The letter should include: basic details about the cleanup (what, when, where, and who); contact information (including an email address); explain what you hope to accomplish; provide a budget detailing how you will use TLGV funds; let TLGV know who will be picking up and disposing of the trash (TLGV can’t cover that cost); describe how youth (the future stewards of The Last Green Valley) will be involved in the cleanup; and include a plan for publicizing not just the event, but the results. Nonprofit organizations should also submit a copy of their 501(c) designation letter from the IRS. Contact Lois Bruinooge at (860) 774-3300 or This email address is being protected from spambots.
