“The purpose of SFI’s Community Partnerships Grant Program is to elevate and enrich the link between people and forests. SFI awards grants to collaborative community-based projects, activities or events which support SFI’s core mission to connect communities to forests. Applications which feature creative partnerships, and/or high degrees of leverage (e. g. matching funds, scale of impact, etc.) are preferred.
For the SFI Community Partnerships Grant program, SFI seeks requests in the following five areas:
- Leverage the engagement of Sustainable Forestry Initiative Implementation Committees (SICs) to enrich the link between people and forests.
- Engage and educate youth to encourage understanding, appreciation and hands-on interaction with the natural world.
- Train and educate current and future practitioners who are engaged in actions affecting the future of our forests.
- Support and promote Aboriginal, Tribal and Heritage values.
- Support underserved communities through forestry, with a focus on urban forestry, rural communities and/or minority landowners.”
