Also, we need to know when you are submitting grant applications – in fact, we should be reviewing them before they are submitted. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Thanks All,

Call for Projects from Erin Barnes of ioby.org:
Do you have an environmental project for your neighborhood that could
use some love? Does your project need funding or volunteers? Do you have a
community garden that needs some plants and flowers? Do you have a vision for a
green roof or clean energy on the roof of your community center or school? Is
there an abandoned lot in your neighborhood that could use attention? Do you
want to organize some friends to pick up trash in the park where your pets and
children play every day?
Spring is almost here. Soon we’ll be waking up our garden beds, rolling
over our compost piles, and installing solar panels and wind turbines on our
roofs. When the winter thaws, we’ll be itching to get outdoors on the
weekends and get involved in the neighborhood. ioby is here to help.
If you have an environmental project that is discrete, site-specific in a NYC
neighborhood, with a small budget that needs funding or volunteers, apply to
post your project on ioby.org. ioby stands for
“in our backyards” and through a web platform connects donors and
volunteers to environmental projects in their neighborhoods. To post a project,
just go to ioby.org/projects/submit,
create a username and password and fill out the online application.
For more information about what makes an ioby project, check out our criteria (http://ioby.org/projects/criteria
), our eligibility ( http://ioby.org/projects/eligible
