Environmental Solutions for Communities Grant Program

Wells Fargo and the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) seek to promote sustainable communities through Environmental Solutions for Communities by supporting highly-visible projects that link economic development and community well-being to the stewardship and health of the environment. Approximately $2,500,000 is available nationwide for 2015 projects.

Collectively, investments under this initiative will promote a sustainable future for communities by:

• Supporting sustainable agricultural practices and private lands stewardship;
• Conserving critical land and water resources and improving local water quality;
• Restoring and managing natural habitat, species and ecosystems that are important to community livelihoods;
• Facilitating investments in green infrastructure, renewable energy and energy efficiency; and
• Encouraging broad-based citizen and targeted youth participation in project implementation.
