Bayside Climate Emergency Grants
We invite local not-for-profit groups that contribute to making Bayside a better place to live to apply for a Bayside Climate Emergency Grant.
The Bayside City Council Climate Emergency Grants provide funding of up to $5,000 for activities, events, projects, and programs which support and enable action to address the Climate Emergency in Bayside and the reduction of greenhouse gas emission levels.
