LOWELL, Mass. - In honor of Earth Day, UMass Lowell and the city of Lowell today awarded the first round of $50,000 in sustainability grants to five projects.
The grants are the latest initiative by the leaders of the Green Community Partnership to support efforts to implement and grow sustainable operations around the region.
The alliance to provide leadership, resources and expertise for sustainability initiatives throughout greater Lowell was launched in January 2020. Led by UMass Lowell Chancellor Jacquie Moloney and Lowell City Manager Eileen Donoghue, the partnership includes the Green Community Commission, which is co-chaired by philanthropist Nancy Donahue and includes leaders from business, community and environmental organizations. The founding of the partnership included the launch of a sustainability grant program for university-community initiatives funded by a generous donation by Donahue to the university and matched by community partners for a total of $50,000 in available funding.
