How to get a Go Green Tustin grant.

All TUSD schools are eligible for up to $1,000 to support their efforts to “Go Green.” Funds can be used to jump-start a program or to expand current efforts. Anything that supports environmental education can be purchased through this project, which is sponsored by the Tustin Public Schools Foundation.

For ideas and background information about the national Go Green Initiative, download the Planning Guide: http://gogreeninitiative.org/PDF/PlanningGuide.pdf

We suggest forming a group at your school that will implement your Go Green activities. Successful projects usually include a combination of parents, teachers/staff and students.

When you are ready to apply for your grant, submit a simple online form: http://www.tpsf.net/GoGreenForm.htm.

Funds will then be forwarded to your school’s PTA or PTO. A progress report is due by June 30: http://www.tpsf.net/PDFs/Progress%20Report.pdf

Please keep the Tustin Public Schools Foundation aware of your progress (info@tpsf.net). We appreciate photos, newsletter articles and invitations to see your project in action.

Go Green, Tustin!
