USGBC Minnesota is using its Advocacy Grant to support an advocacy campaign that includes meetings with legislators, green building tours and advocacy recap events.

Chapters Grants

From creating healthier, higher performing classrooms, to making veterans’ homes more energy efficient, to expanding staff and volunteer capacity, USGBC chapters across the network are advancing sustainability in their communities through diverse, replicable initiatives supported by grants from USGBC.

Impact Grants

Impact Grants are matching grants that fund the development of impactful chapter programming, with a focus on projects that are inspirational, innovative, measurable and replicable across the chapter network.

Advocacy Grants

Advocacy Grants are matching grants that provide financial support for local- and state-level advocacy activities that align with USGBC’s mission and vision.

Green Schools Grants

Green Schools Grants are matching grants that provide financial support for USGBC Chapter Green Schools Committee activities that advance the mission of USGBC’s Center for Green Schools through resource development and community-chapter collaboration.

Capacity Building Grants

Capacity Building Grants are matching grants to provide start-up funding for a new staff position, providing USGBC chapters even more capacity to be effective, self-sustaining organizations within the communities they serve.

Strategic Investment Grants

Strategic Investment Grants are non-matching grants to fund strategic hires in USGBC chapters that demonstrate a capacity to utilize the hire as a catalyst to greatly expand their impact in their region and reach new markets and diverse audiences previously untapped by the USGBC chapter network.
