The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection has announced that the Reduce, Reuse, Repair Micro-Grants have been updated for 2024.
The program provides awards of up to $10,000 to for-profit and nonprofit organizations, regional authorities, eligible municipalities, and schools and colleges, for short-term waste reduction projects. To qualify, projects must focus on reducing waste generation and prolonging the lifespan of products via donation, rescue, reuse and/or repair in Massachusetts. Composting and recycling projects are not eligible for this grant.
There are two application deadlines in 2024: May 15 and Nov. 15. A link to the online application will be posted on April 1 and Oct. 1, respectively, on the program webpage, where a sample application and grant guidelines can also be found.
