[Crewlist] Fwd: 1% for the Planet Grant Application

[Sequatchie Valley Institute]

FYI Everyone, 

SVI has been approved as a 1% for the Planet Non-Profit partner. This will allow us to tap into grants and benefits from 1% for the Planet, an alliance of over 1300 business that donate 1% of their profits to environmental organizations.

Big thanks to Jeannie for getting the ball rolling on this. She and Gilbert have already tapped into the 1% For The Planet donors network to get kegs of New Belgium beer for the recent, successful fundraisers for the Beehive Collective and Mountain Justice.

We will be reviewing the available partnerships and brainstorming how to best apply for grants and benefits.

Cheers,

Chris Gilligan
Board of Directors
