Green Schools "Mini Grant" Program

The Central Coast Green Building Council is seeking applications from K-12 schools in Santa Barbara County for our Green Schools Mini-Grant Program, funded by the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians Foundation . This program exists to help schools fund projects that promote sustainability on their campus. Projects are to be carried out in the 2024-2025 school year and can receive up to $1,000 outright (this is not a refund-based grant).

Below are some suggested project ideas but we encourage you to submit projects that will best serve your school.
