The Kent Environmental Council has funding available for a limited number of grants. These grants will be made available every other year beginning in January 2026. The applications are available now with a submission deadline of December 31, 2025. Awards will be announced on or before January 31, 2026.
We seek proposals from persons or organizations with ideas for improving the environment in Portage County. Areas of consideration will include, but are not limited to, environmental education, storm water management, the mitigation of stream and river degradation, the protection of other surface and ground water resources, enhancement of alternative energy usage, and/or the creation of sustainable communities. We also welcome other areas of consideration that would improve the air, the water, the natural beauty, and environmental awareness in our area.
Requests will be considered for amounts up to $1,000.00. Preference is given to requests for less than $500.
