By Robert Smith, Treasurer Huplits Grant Committee
The Allegheny Group Sierra Club’s Huplits Grant Committee is seeking grant proposals to help promote Sierra Club’s policies and mission in Pennsylvania. The average of past grants has been about $9,000, with a range from $1,500 to $20,000.
Application guidelines:
We seek projects that promote Sierra Club’s policies and mission in Pennsylvania.
A proposal may involve public education, grassroots campaign organization, litigation, land acquisition, or research that fulfills the Sierra Club’s organizational policies and mission. Any proposal that requests support for possible legal action is subject to review and approval by the Sierra Club Environmental Law Program prior to any award.
Projects can be funded for 12 or 24 months. Status reports are due at the mid-point and the end of each grant term. In order to be eligible for additional funding awards, an organization must provide timely status reports and demonstrate that previous funding has been fully spent.
Grants may be sought by Sierra Club entities within Pennsylvania.
Non-Sierra Club organizations with projects in Pennsylvania may apply for a grant; however, preference will be given to proposals that work in partnership with Sierra Club and are aligned with the goals of local Pennsylvania Sierra Club Groups and/or Sierra Club Pennsylvania Chapter. All proposals must include a copy of their IRS501(c)(3) designation letter, or that of a fiscal sponsor.
All organizations seeking funds must submit a completed Application Form and the appropriate accompanying documents.
DEADLINE: Submit proposals no later than June 14, 2025 to Robert (Bob) Smith via e-mail at 44kayak77@gmail.com . If you have any questions, contact Bob via email or call 412-979-1519.
