The Center for Nonprofit Advancement and the DC Department of Energy and Environment (DOEE) have partnered to launch the Small & Accessible Sustainability (SAS) Subgrants program.

This innovative initiative is designed to advance the District’s sustainability, donation and reuse, zero waste, and urban agriculture goals while directly supporting small, new, and historically-excluded (SNHE) organizations.

Empowering community-based sustainability 

Through this partnership, the Center awarded 10–15 subgrants ranging from $5,000–$20,000 each, with total funding of $110,000, to community-rooted organizations implementing creative, local projects.
