Go
Green Seed Fund launched
SINGAPORE : Green enthusiasts in
South East Singapore can look forward to more funding for their
eco-friendly initiatives.
The South East Community Development Council (CDC)
and SMRT Corporation jointly launched the new Go Green Seed Fund on
Friday.
SMRT and South East CDC donated S$15,000 each to the
fund. 
It is hoped this will encourage people in the
district to address environmental concerns and raise eco
awareness.
Launched in conjunction with ITE's Eco-Conference,
the grant will provide up to S$5,000 per project.
But the fund is not for individuals. It hopes to
seek out green collaborations between at least two community
partners. These include schools, grassroots organisations and
voluntary welfare organisations, or other interested
parties.
Registration is open from July 13 August
17.
Submitted applications will be subjected to
evaluation by a panel, comprising members from SMRT, South East CDC
and the National Environment Agency.
