Sustainable Tompkins is a broad-based coalition of organizations and individuals whose mission is to ensure the long-term well-being of our communities and region.
The resources on the right tell you more, those at the top help you get involved.
NEIGHBORHOOD MINI-GRANTS are available through Sustainable Tompkins, a citizen-based nonprofit working to create a more just and sustainable community in our area.
Goals of the grants
• To support and stimulate resident-based, “bottom-up” initiatives that improve the quality of life and long-term health of residents in neighborhoods.
• To build neighborhood capacity, opportunity, and leadership, and generate more collaboration between residents, organizations, and leaders.
The program will eventually extend to the larger Ithaca region, with an emphasis on opportunities for underserved populations.
Be sure to visit our online Tompkins Sustainability Map -- a showcase of the many groups working on the interwoven aspects of sustainable living in our county.
The Map offers a visual interface to help online visitors explore our rich landscape of local sustainability efforts. The directory of organizations on the Map provides the user with information on each organization: its mission, programs and projects, and contact information to learn more.
The Sustainability Map is a “one-stop shopping” tool for people awakening to the multiple crises we face on our planet, and provides a way for new volunteers to learn about and connect to the aspect of sustainability work that most appeals to them.
