The Last Green Valley, Inc. (TLGV) is making funding available to nonprofits and municipalities that wish to organize a cleanup event.
In the last seven years, 9,404 volunteers have collected 321,899 pounds of trash from parks, rivers, and roadways throughout The Last Green Valley National Heritage Corridor thanks to the funding. Recipients will be reimbursed up to $500 for expenses such as publicity, cleanup supplies such as trash bags and work gloves and food and refreshments for volunteers. To apply, submit a letter to TLGV, on your organization’s letterhead, at least four weeks before the proposed event. Applications should include: Basic details about your cleanup – what, when, where, and who – plus your contact information, including a phone number, street address, and email address; What you hope to accomplish; A budget detailing how you will use TLGV funds; Who will be picking up and disposing of the trash (we can’t cover that cost); How you will involve youth – the future stewards of The Last Green Valley; Describe how you will publicize not just the event, but the results; For nonprofit organizations, submit a copy of your 501(c) letter from the IRS.
For info: 860-774-3300. The cleanup fund is sponsored by bankHometown.
