Now Forming Our Fall Impact Circle
Working together to learn about and fund non-profits that address climate change.
We held our first meeting last week and discussed possible focus area(s) for the Request For Proposal (RFP). Our plan is to issue the RFP in early December.
Our next meeting is this Friday, Nov. 21 and a third meeting is scheduled for Dec. 2. We will resume meeting in January to review the grant applications.
There is room for a few more participants for this Impact Circle. If you would like to join, please email Lee no later than Monday, Nov. 24: (lee 'at' sustainablepath.org)
- Sustainable Path matches the donations of Impact Circle members up to $40,000.
- Grant awards generally range between $5,000 and $15,000 each.

Your Money At Work
Last week members of the Spring Impact Circle gathered at Edmonds Community College to get a first hand look at the Dept. of Horticulture's sustainable agriculture project work. Timothy Hohn and Zsofia Pasztor showed off their demonstration model of an aquaponics system built by students. We also visited the site of the future home of the two aquaponic systems we're helping to fund.
