Bengaluru Sustainability Forum Small Grants in India
Bengaluru Sustainability Forum (BSF) is currently inviting applicants for its Small Grants Program to support innovative, unusual and forward thinking collaborative project ideas within the realm of urban sustainability in Bengaluru.
In this round, they invite proposals around the issues of urban water, urban biodiversity, urban climate change or the linkages between them.
It is desirable for the project to keep Bengaluru and its peri-urban areas in mind, however, other projects that can be applied to mega cities in general will also be considered.
These projects can be many things including research, documentation and data collection, citizen science projects, outreach, communication and education programs, training and workshops.
This list is of course not exhaustive.
Applicants can include illustrators, scientists, government employees, architects, interested citizens, journalists, educators and many more.
