[Philanthropy News Digest] With assistance from Roots & Shoots, the Jane Goodall Institute's global environmental and humanitarian youth program, Green Works, the Clorox Company's line of natural cleaners, has announced the 2010 Green Heroes Grant Program. The program will award six grants, totaling $60,000, to individuals, organizations, and schools across the United States that are making their communities a greener place to live.
People can nominate green community projects and their leaders for a Green Heroes grant by submitting a photo and short essay about the project or person at the Green Works facebook page. Nominations will be accepted between January 19 and February 18, 2010.
A $15,000 first prize and a $5,000 runner-up grant will be awarded in each of three categories: Youth Leader/Organization — individual youth leaders between the ages of 13 and 17 working with youth-led nonprofit organizations; Adult Leader/Organization — individual leaders age 18 and over working with nonprofit organizations; and School Organization — innovative environmental programs that are coordinated by a school or a teacher. Programs in the School Organization category can receive grants to help further develop their projects along with a special educational experience from Roots & Shoots for their school.
