Crush it Crusade Program
This grant provides funding and resources to organizations seeking to establish or enhance recycling programs, focusing on waste diversion and recycling education.
The Crush it Crusade Program is a grant opportunity offered by Can'd Aid to support organizations in launching and improving recycling programs. The program is open to both event-based and ongoing programs, with a focus on waste diversion, recycling education, and promotion of the Crush it Crusade initiative. Grant recipients can receive recycling bins, training on program management, and seed funding. The seed funding can be used for various purposes, such as product purchase, staff training, and subsidizing hauling expenses. The average grant size ranges from $5,000 to $10,000, but grants outside of this range are also considered based on program merit. The grant application is rolling, allowing applicants to apply at any time. Grant recipients are expected to display Crush it Crusade Tool Kit items at events and partner facilities, as well as report waste diversion efforts on a quarterly basis. The program offers three types of recycling bins - outdoor, indoor, and event-based - and applicants can request specific types and quantities in their application. The application form does not allow for saving answers, so it is recommended to craft responses in a separate document before entering them.
