FollowAfter a long hiatus, ALPAR is pleased to bring back funding for the purpose of supporting recycling outreach and education. Our goal is to divert materials (destined for the landfill or ending up as litter) to recycling outlets.
Applications will be accepted in two categories (1) recycling outreach, and (2) recycling education, until all funds are disbursed. Grant requests can be for any amount, however those between $500 and $2,500 are standard. Preference will be given to rural communities however larger communities with limited recycling may also qualify.
This opportunity is open to nonprofits and tax exempt tribal entities. Checks will not be written to an individual, government or for-profit entities. See the link to the application above for verification terms and payment details.
Examples of qualified recycling outreach activities include collection events for electronics, plastic, light bulbs, batteries, etc. with the end result being materials moving into the recycling stream. Examples of qualified recycling education includes courses for those charged with the responsibility of managing their community’s solid waste and a desire to recycle as much of that stream as possible (ie IGAP or backhaul training).
Our goal is to provide those who submit an application with an outcome within 30 days of it reaching the ALPAR offices (submission by email is preferred as the post office box is checked once a week). Applications can be sent to: director@alparalaska.com
