EcoAction Community Funding Program
Since 1995, Environment Canada's EcoAction Community Funding Program has provided financial support to community-based, non-profit organizations for projects that have measurable, positive impacts on the environment.
The Program encourages action focused projects that will protect, rehabilitate or enhance the natural environment. The Program also supports projects that build the capacity of communities to increase knowledge and skills as well as change attitudes and behaviours so that these activities may be sustained into the future.
Project Funding
In keeping with Environment Canada's national environmental priorities, the Program supports projects that address the following four themes:
Clean air - reducing air emissions that contribute to air pollutants
Clean water - diverting and reducing substances that negatively affect water quality or focusing on water conservation and efficiency
Climate change - reducing greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change
Nature - protecting wildlife and plants, and protecting and improving the habitat where they live
