Applications for the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection’s Reduce, Reuse, Repair Micro-Grants will open on April 15 and are due May 15.
The grant program awards between $3,000 and $10,000 for projects that reduce waste through efforts to reuse, repair, donate, share, and/or rescue items.
Eligible applicants include municipalities, nonprofits, businesses, schools and colleges, and regional authorities.
Projects must be based in Massachusetts and may take up to one year to complete. Of particular interest to the construction and demolition stakeholder community is that building material reuse and deconstruction projects are eligible for consideration. Recycling and composting projects, however, are not eligible.
For more information, see the Micro-Grant Webpage and the Grant Guidelines, which provide information including evaluation criteria, eligible uses of funds, project ideas, and a glossary of terms.
The MassDEP will host a virtual information session on April 1 from 10 to 11 a.m. (register online)
Questions may be directed to Leah Kelleher at [email protected] until April 29.
