Overview
The Gateway Regional Environment Fund Grant Program, managed by the St. Louis Community Foundation, aims to support initiatives in the St. Louis metro area that reduce the carbon footprint. By funding projects that address greenhouse gas emissions, GREF plays a crucial role in combating climate change locally. This program encourages community engagement and innovation to create a sustainable future for the region.
The purpose of the Gateway Regional Environment Fund (“GREF”) is to support projects in the St. Louis metro area that advance community efforts to reduce the region’s carbon footprint. Greenhouse gases are global and, though their effects may not be felt directly, greenhouse gases do and will continue to negatively impact the St. Louis region. The GREF is a component fund of the St. Louis Community Foundation.
