Environmental Grants
The Environmental Grants program provides opportunities for CST to fund projects aimed at ecosystem protection and improvement, wildlife research, pollution and waste reduction, environmental education and engagement, and conservation. Here are a few of the organizations supported through this program:
CST awarded $766 K to support 120 environmental grants from 2014-2024. These helped preserve habitats and wildlife and provide preservation education.
Environmental grants are managed by employees serving on our Environmental Grants Committee. Proposals from around the globe are reviewed annually. While preference is given to local organizations within the US, funding may be granted for larger projects within other regions.
Grant Program
Applications for grants will be accepted through May 1st annually. Priority will be given to action-oriented projects with at least 70% of the overall funding going to projects that have a direct impact on the environment, ecosystems, and research. Any remaining funds will be allocated to education and engagement projects.
- We encourage applications from both rural and urban projects.
- Organizations registered in the state of Massachusetts, or specifically on the North Shore of Boston, will be favored over organizations in other geographic areas.
- Applicants will be notified of decisions by the end of July.
