Frisco Waste Reduction Business Grant

The Frisco Waste Reduction Business Grant is an initiative by the Town of Frisco designed to support small businesses, nonprofits, and educational organizations within the town's jurisdiction in reducing waste and advancing sustainability efforts. The grant program is built to encourage innovative, impactful projects that align with Frisco’s waste reduction goals. The Town of Frisco administers the grant and leads the competitive review process through its internal staff. This funding opportunity is open to Frisco-based organizations holding an active business license. Applicants may request up to $10,000 in reimbursement-based funding. The grant remains open on a rolling basis throughout the year until the funds are fully allocated. Due to the competitive nature of this grant, applicants are advised to apply early, as the opportunity may close once the budget has been exhausted. Eligible projects include a range of sustainability initiatives such as installing publicly accessible water filling stations, transitioning from single-use to reusable items, expanding existing sustainability programs, developing composting infrastructure with up to six months of pickup services, and organizing educational programs that promote waste reduction, including those with speaker costs. The grant does not support the purchase of reusable bags, to-go containers, or recycling services. Creative and community-impactful proposals are strongly encouraged. Applicants must submit a detailed proposal outlining the project, execution plan, timeline, and anticipated impact on Frisco’s waste goals. Funding is provided only upon submission of proof of incurred expenses post-approval. Partial funding may be awarded based on the proposal and available funds. Submissions are evaluated by Town staff based on alignment with program goals and overall community benefit. There are no deadlines, but the rolling nature and limited funding imply urgency for interested parties. There are no pre-application requirements or concept paper stages. Funding is disbursed on a reimbursement basis only after project approval and verified expenditure documentation. The program does not have a defined recurrence but operates continuously until funds are expended. Interested applicants are encouraged to check the Town of Frisco’s website regularly for updates on fund availability.

Provide a clear connection to Frisco’s waste reduction goals and ensure proof of expenditures is retained for reimbursement.
