Paper Recycling Grants Program
Deadline June 22, 2011
Application available at: www.kab.org/grants<http://www.kab.org/grants>

In partnership with the American Forest & Paper Association (AF&PA), Keep America Beautiful (KAB) announces the availability of $500-$1,000 grants aimed at empowering KAB's Network of Affiliates, Partner State Recycling Organizations, and Participating Organizations to engage in paper recycling efforts during 2011 with specific audiences:

*         K-12 Schools,

*          K-12 students in community organizations, and

*          Local Businesses

Successful grant applicants will introduce new paper recycling programs or improve and expand existing paper recycling programs.  Grants will be awarded to the best applications. Applicants are encouraged to present creative and/or comprehensive concepts for paper recycling.  Including an educational component for the target audience is important.  The applicants will identify key elements of the proposed program and how paper recycling will be sustained after grant funds are expended. KAB encourages partnering with one or both of the other organizations eligible for this grant.  Depending on the scope of work presented in the application, a $500-$1,000 grant for each of the partners (KAB, BGCA and IDA) submitting a unified paper recycling project proposal may be granted.
