what you described, your project definitely sounds like
it would fit the CITF grant criteria. We do fund purely
educational projects in
addition to the more tangible projects where you’re more
likely to get your
hands dirty. CITF was born from the understanding that we
don’t have all the
answers and don’t always know what tangible project fits
best with each
community’s needs. So, education and collaboration are
necessary components to
determining a solution.</div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"> </p><div style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">The
outcomes you choose to measure could definitely be the
number of attendees (or number of people educated). If you
want to get even
more detailed, you could also send out a survey to all
attendees to get a sense
of what new knowledge attendees walked away with or what
actions they plan to
take/change in the future based on something the heard or
learned at the forum.
And you could also attempt to keep track of new
initiatives or projects that
developed directly from the collaborations at the
Sustainability Forum – could
be difficult to track but interesting on a number of
levels.</div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"> </p><div style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Either

that the proposed piece
of the project needs to be completed and funds used within
one calendar year of

environmental education,

wonder if the purpose of the grant is for more tangible
projects, like

Signage for buildings and churches (private homes too)
that are practicing some form of sustainable practice
(like the bike/tour shop downtown might be) to begin a
real conversation in the community and then move all
that onto the forum in the next phase of the project
(think about the sustainable church designation as a
prototype and something that could be promoted
already). Just another thought. Annie<br>

the community to pursue with the
sustainability forum! Does anyone
have any ongoing projects or
project ideas that this grant can
help turn into a realty?<b>
Application is due June 5th and
the project must start in

Well, we did…. but then we

<div>Anyway, he is now, and
tonight he said that the grant

the proposal, and writing it up.
We just need to come up with
something that will fly with
DuPont. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Personally, I LOVE Elin’s
idea of swift towers along the
river trail! Lots of communities
are building them, since chimney
swifts are on the decline, and
people cap their chimneys, or
increasingly build houses
without chimneys. And, of
course, we long ago took down
the vast forests full of ancient
trees, many of which had broken
tops—the original nesting sites
for the species. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Michael, do you think a
seriously professional
community-wide sustainability
survey would fly with DuPont?
Or funding a super duper
Sustainable MOV Forum (but
without a date being set)? Or a
seriously great virtual
Sustainable Marietta Forum?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Folks, do we have any other
ideas? Michael said whatever we
come up with, the money has to
be spent in 2020, and if DuPont
likes the results, it’s possible
they’d look favorably on us
again in 2021.</div>

the forum could be to

people to fill it out,
then have an online
event to share the
outcome<span> </span><br>

bigger event. Then
based on that

forum a year from this
summer or fall. We can<span> </span><br>
brainstorm how all of
that could work. A
charging station or two<span> </span><br>
wouldn't cost that much
(tops $2,000) but I
can't believe that the

something worth

perhaps Dow would<span> </span><br>
be interested in lending
us some of their

promote<span> </span><br>
the event and the
survey. We can ask for
lots of things I would

besides just the
$10,000. Annie<br>

I like your idea
of the charging
station--although this
will likely benefit
only a few people.<br>
<br>
What about
planning a virtual
"Sustainability Forum"
for the fall (it's
unlikely that
in-person meetings
will be OK by then?
What are some costs
associated with the
Forum if it were
virtual?<br>

I was talking to
Michael Chisholm
today, and he told me
that DuPont is
offering grants for
sustainability
projects of up to
$10,000–locally. They
need to have an
in-house sponsor
(MICHAEL!!), and I
think he said the
deadline to apply is
June 6.<br>
<br>
Imagine what we could
pull off if we had up
to $10,000 to put on a
Sustainable Marietta
Forum!! But we can’t
even set a date for
that yet, so, let’s
come up with a
different idea. How
about this: an
electric car charging
station (or two) in
front of FUUSM that
(on sunny days) would
be powered by the
SUN—on the roof of the
sanctuary. Maybe we
could have a few small
panels installed on
posts—part of the
charging stations (?)
that connected to
FUUSMs system, too,
but more visible to
make it clear that
cars charged there
would be running on
SUNSHINE!!<br>
<br>
Of course, that’s just
my idea. Perhaps you
can come up with
something even better.<br>
<br>
Michael, will you
please tell us the
details of this grant,
and how we apply?<br>
