The City of Flagstaff Sustainability Office and Sustainability Commission have opened applications for the Flagstaff Sustainability Grants Program. The program, previously known as the Neighborhood Sustainability Grant Program, will accept applications from August 15 through September 30, 2025. Grants of up to $7,500 are available for projects that promote sustainability and strengthen community partnerships within the city limits.
Eligible applicants include community groups, nonprofits, individuals, and businesses with projects focused on energy, community health and climate resilience, food, transportation, or waste. The initiative aims to support local efforts that address key sustainability priorities in Flagstaff.
“We’re thrilled to support grassroots sustainability efforts that make a real difference in our community,” said Amy Wolkowinsky. “These grants empower residents and organizations to implement innovative solutions that benefit our quality of life in Flagstaff.”
In 2024, the program provided funding to 11 local groups and individuals for various sustainability initiatives. Examples included Elevated Gardening’s “Growing Food at High Altitude” workshop series on pollinators and food production, Flagstaff Water Group’s Biochar tests aimed at cleaning reclaimed water, and Southside Community Association’s Service Corp program pilot.
A grant workshop is scheduled for Tuesday, August 26 from 5:30-7:00 pm at the Flagstaff Sustainability Office (419 N Mogollon St) and will also be available virtually via Microsoft Teams. Additional information about grant guidelines, application instructions, and workshop registration can be found at https://www.flagstaff.az.gov/FSG.
