#Seattle Public Utilities is accepting applications through March 22 for the Waste-Free Communities Matching Grant, which funds community-based waste-prevention projects.
#The grant program aims to support communities and innovation around waste prevention and increase access to benefits and opportunities to reduce waste.
#Qualifying projects must test or expand on new approaches or technologies for waste prevention and engage at least one of the following communities: communities of color, immigrants, refugees, low-income, people with disabilities, seniors, young adults, youth, children, and/or small businesses.
#They must also provide free or low-cost resources or job training to homeless or low-income communities.
#Funding is set at $5,000-$20,000, and recipients must match those amounts at 50 percent, either financially or through in-kind donations.
