There is a new funding opportunity to support litter cleanup projects across Canada. Unsmoke Canada Cleanups is a new grant-giving program established through a partnership between The Great Outdoors Fund and #UnsmokeCanada.

The Great Outdoors Fund is a nonprofit dedicated to generating voluntary funding from the private sector to assist public agencies and their nonprofit partners in keeping the great outdoors healthy and open for the benefit and enjoyment of people of all ages, abilities and socio-economic backgrounds.

#UnsmokeCanada is an initiative of Rothmans, Benson & Hedges, Inc. (RBH) to help rid Canada of cigarettes by 2035.  RBH recognizes its responsibility to be stewards of its products and is committed to encouraging and enabling society to reduce litter globally.

From city parks to national parks, our goal is to help everyone work together to keep Canada’s great outdoors great!  To learn more and access this funding opportunity, click here. It’s free, but you will need to sign up as a new user and create an account in order to apply for a grant. The grant will close on Tuesday June 30^th, 2020.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email lori@thegreatoutdoorsfund.org or call me directly at 817.946.6909.

We hope you will consider submitting an application for funding through Unsmoke Canada Cleanups.
