Thanks to Ken Zeserson for his article on our Neighborhood Mini-Grants Program in the May 15, 2016 edition of Tompkins Weekly. For this article, we focused on three recent grants that supported local citizens in their efforts to create a stronger democracy by telling local stories:
–EcoDefense Radio covers local environmental issues.
–Hot Potato Press provides a platform for everyone to talk about local food issues.
–Tompkins County Workers Center is sponsoring creative ways to illustrate the importance of a living wage.
Our next deadline to apply for a mini-grant is June 1. Email Sasha@sustainabletompkins.org for an application.
