Surdna Foundation
Category: Environment
DescriptionThe Foundation invites letters of inquiry from nonprofits for programs that connect and improve the infrastructure systems of urban areas and their surrounding areas in ways that maximize positive impacts and minimize negative environmental, economic, and social consequences. The Foundation’s Sustainable Environments Program is working to overhaul our country’s outdated and crumbling infrastructure with a new approach that will foster healthier, sustainable, and just communities. The Foundation believes in the potential of what it calls “next generation infrastructure” to improve transit systems, make buildings more energy efficient, better manage our water systems, and rebuild regional food systems. Grants are awarded in the following areas: Sustainable Transportation Networks and Equitable Development Patterns, Energy Efficiency in the Built Environment, Urban Water Management, and Regional Food Supply. Funded organizations should promote meaningful collaboration and an integrated approach to infrastructure solutions; focus on infrastructure decisions that better meet the needs of historically underserved communities including low-income communities and people of color; promote long-term solutions and leverage strategic infrastructure investments; and/or highlight, especially through communications, the multiple benefits of next-generation infrastructure. Additional information can be found on the Web site.
