<div dir="ltr">Hello All,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I received news on the Clear Into the Future Grant that the money will NOT go to the Sustainability Forum. The Corporate Grant Director decided the event is more of a sponsorship role. They would rather fund tangible sustainability improvements such as
installing solar powered car charging stations, adding native plants to river banks to filter water and prevent erosion, etc.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Given the uncertainty around the forum timing and the possibility of going digital, this is not necessarily bad news. What is good news is they still have us slated for $7,500 (one of the highest awards given globally!!!) and we can execute projects to
showcase in the forum!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We have until September 11th to submit our revised application with the project(s) we would like to fund.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For those interested, let's setup a time to discuss <u>and decide</u> on what projects to put this money towards. Does this Sunday work? Can someone setup a Zoom meeting? I do not have an account that allows me to create a meeting.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thank You,</div>
<div><br>
