Jessika Bond and Emily La speak with Joe Salzone of 607 News Now about the recent expansion of the Sustainable Finger Lakes Neighborhood Mini-Grant program.
Applications for grants between $150 and $750 are open until September 1 for residents from Steuben, Chemung, and Tioga Counties. Interested applicants should reach out to Sasha@sustainablefingerlakes.org to request an application.
In their conversation, they discuss:
– The Neighborhood Mini-Grant program’s expansion to three chapters as part of Sustainable Finger Lakes’ broader regional mission.
– Jessika’s arrival at Sustainable Finger Lakes during the program’s expansion and leading efforts to connect directly with community members through in-person outreach.
– How the Neighborhood Mini-Grant program goes beyond providing funding by offering feedback and support to help individuals, small organizations, and microbusinesses strengthen their grant-writing skill set.
