Subject: RFP now available for Local Sustainability Matching Fund - Deadline March 5, 2012

 
In partnership with the Urban Sustainability Directors Network ( http://go.madmimi.com/redirects/0ba3f7f38e04626f4d72ebfc42add305?pa=6833867279 ), the Funders' Network is pleased to announce the formation of the Local Sustainability Matching Fund. The Fund has been created with leadership support from four Network members: the Kendeda Fund, the New York Community Trust ( http://go.madmimi.com/redirects/bea6bde3d4ec6428d416dd0d77434d2a?pa=6833867279 ), the Summit Foundation ( http://go.madmimi.com/redirects/5c4f42db1b26861f99edbcc2ea273a1d?pa=6833867279 ), and the Surdna Foundation ( http://go.madmimi.com/redirects/ebb9ec51fe6840f0d894a20e7e3e2253?pa=6833867279 ). 
 
The purpose of the Local Sustainability Matching Fund ( http://www.fundersnetwork.org/participate/green-building/local-sustainability-matching-fund ) is twofold: to catalyze partnerships between local government sustainability directors and local, place-based foundations, including community foundations, and to advance important community-based sustainability initiatives. The Fund will provide partnership investments between $25,000 and $75,000, with a 1:1 match required by one or more local foundation. The Network anticipates that the Fund will support up to ten partnership projects in the first year in two rounds in the spring and fall of 2012. 
 
The application deadline for the first round is March 5th, and you may download the Request for Proposals here ( http://www.fundersnetwork.org/participate/green-building/local-sustainability-matching-fund ). Applications must be submitted in MS Word and use the application Cover Sheet ( http://www.fundersnetwork.org/participate/green-building/local-sustainability-matching-fund ). The Network will host a conference call to provide more information on the fund and review the selection criteria. The call will be held on January 24th, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern, and you may register for the call by clicking here ( http://go.madmimi.com/redirects/aec1a39f4c65def517d46011de728189?pa=6833867279 ).
 
A selection committee comprised of foundation representatives and urban sustainability directors will make selection decisions on behalf of the matching fund, and awards will be announced on May 5, 2012. For more information on the Local Sustainability Matching Fund, please contact Ann Wallace at ann at fundersnetwork.org or 617-524-9239.
