The Burning River Foundation issues grants once yearly through a competitive process. The Foundation releases a request for proposals around September or October and proposals are due in November. Determinations are made by January of the following year, and funds can be made immediately available. Recipient organizations display their work to the public at the Burning River Fest.
To date, the Foundation has given out over $320,000. Funds have been made available to:
- organizations that educate on clean water in Cleveland schools
- projects that demonstrate water conservation
- original research related to water quality and health in the Great Lakes
- organizations that are responsible for the health of our local water resources
- efforts related to the redevelopment of the Coast Guard Station into multipurpose educational and recreational center
Grants for these programs are made possible by funds raised at the annual Burning River Fest. Please support these programs by joining us at the Burning River Fest on July 26-27, 2013!
