Community Impact Grants - Stewarding Our Envirnoment

ENVIRONMENTAL ENGAGEMENT

We support programs that educate and involve local residents in protecting and preserving our natural resources and that increase community involvement in conservation and sustaining healthy ecosystems.

Interest Areas:

  • Environmental education and hands-on experiences for youth that inspire responsible stewardship of our natural resources (e.g. food systems, watershed, energy use, biodiversity and inter-dependence, climate change, etc.)
  • Activities that help sustain healthy ecosystems and other efforts to ensure a healthy Monterey County for current and future generations (e.g. habitat restoration, efficient energy use, recycling, park/beach clean-ups, etc.)
     

ANIMAL WELFARE

We support animal welfare programs that promote the responsible and humane
treatment of companion animals.

Interest Areas:

  • Prevention programs that address pet overpopulation, abuse, neglect and homelessness
  • Programs that support vulnerable people (e.g. seniors, disabled) in keeping their companion animals at home
