Circular Economy Impact Grants
Reimbursement grants of USD 50,000–500,000 for Colorado organisations building lasting systems for reuse, repair, recycling and other circular material flows.
Tämän rahoitusmahdollisuuden kuvaus on toistaiseksi englanniksi.
Build or expand a Colorado project that keeps materials in use and prevents waste. Eligible approaches include better product or process design, remanufacturing, reuse, repair, recovery, recycling, composting, anaerobic digestion and biochar production.
The project must contribute to Colorado's circular economy beyond the funded period and explain its effect on a particular community or communities. C3 gives precedence to projects expected to produce stronger results against its programme goals.
Eligibility
Colorado nonprofits, businesses, local governments, public and private schools, higher-education institutions and Tribes can apply. Your organisation must have operated for at least one year, be registered and in good standing with the Colorado Secretary of State, and remain in good standing with tax and regulatory authorities.
You can receive only one C3 award in a calendar year. Funding is paid as reimbursement: make purchases only after the grant agreement is fully executed and be ready to cover costs before C3 repays eligible expenses.
Your application should show the status of required permits, certifications, zoning and other local rules. C3 grants are not intended for urgent or emergency situations.
