Grants
Grants are a great way to contribute to school and community fundraising. It’s important to know what to look for, where to look and be prepared!
Instead of trying to fit your project into a grants program, we want you to prepare your project for when the RIGHT grant comes up.
Greenline has put together resources for grant applications and will continue to add to these resources.
