Overview

Yolo Air Quality Education Grant

The Yolo Air Quality Education Grant of the Yolo Community Foundation aims to improve air quality by engaging Yolo County children in programs that drive behavior change.

The fund will award up to $10,000, to project(s) that reflect the following:

  • Projects should serve children living and/or going to school in Woodland, West Sacramento, and/or unincorporated Yolo County; in addition to children, parents of children under age 18 may also be a program target.
  • Program must focus on improving air quality by reducing driving.
  • Behavior change resulting from the program may be short-term (e.g., increase the number of kids that bike to school this year) or long-term (e.g., increase children’s understanding of the importance of air quality and the impact that driving has on air quality, to shift their mindsets and encourage positive choices over the course of many years).
  • Programs should be executed between January 2025 and December 2025.
