There is $50,000 available for joint university-community projects that advance sustainability in Lowell. Proposals must align with the sustainability goals in UMass Lowell's 2020 Strategic Plan and the City of Lowell’s Sustainable Lowell 2025 Master Plan to be considered for funding.
Grants will be awarded in the $500 to $10,000 range. Green Community Partnership Grants are funded by a generous donation from Nancy Donahue to the university and matched by city and community partners.
Applications must be submitted by March 6, 2020 and a committee comprised of university and city officials will review the proposals. Two open house events will be held to provide more details on the initiative and to provide guidance and support on proposed projects.

- UMass Lowell: Wednesday, Feb. 12, 2020, 6-8 p.m. at University Crossing, Room 490
Chancellor Jacquie Moloney and City Manager Eileen Donoghue will announce the grant recipients on Earth Day, Wednesday, April 22, 2020.
