SPU Waste-Free Communities Matching Grant
City of Seattle colleagues, please forward the following message to your networks. Thank you!
Seattle Public Utilities is now accepting applications for our new Waste-Free Communities Matching Grant, which funds community projects focused on waste prevention. Waste prevention means creating less waste by buying and using less, reusing items, and sharing or donating items so others can use them. By working together as a community to prevent waste, we can help the environment, protect public health, build community, and save money.
Grant program objectives:
- Support community leadership and innovation around waste prevention
- Increase community access to waste prevention benefits and opportunities
- Reduce the amount of materials going to waste in Seattle
In addition to preventing waste, projects must do ONE or more of the following:
- Be innovative: test or expand on new approaches or technologies
- Engage one or more of the following communities: communities of color, immigrants, refugees, low-income, people with disabilities, seniors, young adults, youth, children, and/or small businesses
- Help communities in need: such as providing free or low-cost resources or job training to homeless or low-income communities
Application Deadline: February 23, 2018 (applications may be submitted in-language and in print or video format)
Funding Amount: $2,000 – $15,000 per grant award
Match Requirement: 50% of grant award (in-kind or cash)
Please visit our website at www.seattle.gov/util/wastefreegrants for more details about the grant program.
If you have any questions, please contact us at the email or phone number listed below.
We look forward to partnering with you to prevent waste in Seattle!

The person sending you this email is in no way related to the study other than by simply forwarding this message along.
Participation involves a 10-15 minute multiple-choice questionnaire regarding your sexual experiences. If you complete the questionnaire, you are eligible to be part of a random drawing for 1 of 5 Amazon gift cards (one worth $100, two worth $50, and two worth $20) as a way to thank you for your participation.
If you are interested in participating, you can click on the above link where you will receive more information on the study and be asked to go over a consent form. After going over the consent form and agreeing to it, you will be able to fill out the questionnaire. You can fill out the questionnaire anytime between now and February 24th, 2018.
Your responses will be anonymous; there is no way for anyone to know who filled out the questionnaire. Your participation is entirely voluntary; you may skip any questions that you do not want to answer. At the end of the questionnaire, you will be directed to a completely different website where you will be asked to input your UW email so that you can be part of the random drawing. Your questionnaire responses will not be capable of being traced to your UW email in any way.
