The Pollination Project announced last week that it has received a $75,000 grant from Levi Strauss & Co. to launch a worldwide grant program to fund grassroots environmental projects led by people age 22 and younger.

Ecologistics board member Celia Zaentz was a The Pollination Project grant recipient in 2013 to begin work on the Blue C Community Garden. They are a wonderful organization. Good luck to anyone who applies and let us know if you receive a grant so we can promote your project.
