The RecycleBank Green Schools Program
Donated RecycleBank Points are matched with dollar donations by RecycleBank to environmental initiatives at schools nationwide. RecycleBank will donate $10 for every 100 Points donated to your school!
We are once again accepting grant applications from schools in RecycleBank - serviced areas for the development of programs that empower youth ages 6–18 through a focus on environmental awareness, education, and action.
How to Participate:
- Download the grant application and guidelines here.
- Complete and return the application to us via email.
- As specified in the guidelines, RecycleBank will notify the programs selected and post them on this page.
- Also at that time, RecycleBank will post downloadable / printable collateral that you can use to start grassroots promotion to your community letting them know about the Points Donation program for your school.
- Then, do whatever you can to rally your community together and get them to support your school’s environmental program with the donation of their Points.
- RecycleBank will convert the Points donated into dollars and grant checks will be mailed by the end of April 2009. (RecycleBank will donate $10 for every 100 Points you donate to support their environmental causes.)
- Remember, this program requires schools, students and their communities to work together for the sake of the proposed school programs.
