Frisco Waste Reduction Business Grant

The new Frisco Waste Reduction Business Grant launched in late January 2024 is intended to support innovative projects or programs to reduce waste in local Frisco businesses. The grant will be up to $10,000 and will be awarded on a rolling basis throughout the year. This is a competitive process so once funds are accounted for, the opportunity will close. Applications must include project details, how you intend to complete the project, a timeline, and an explanation of how this project will help to meet our community’s waste reduction goals. Once a business receives approval for the project outlined in their grant application, they will receive reimbursement for any expenses after providing proof of their expenditures; no grant funds will be released without proof of expenditures. The maximum award amount will be $10,000. Smaller awards or partial funding of projects are also available. The Frisco Waste Reduction Business Grant will have a competitive selection process led by Town of Frisco staff, and all awards will be subject to review by Town staff.
