Deadline: 22-Mar-22
The Rose Foundation for Communities and the Environment is accepting nominations for the 2022 Anthony Grassroots Prize.
The Anthony Prize is a $1,000 cash award recognizing outstanding achievement in the field of grassroots environmental activism during the previous year. Either individuals or small organizations are eligible for nomination, and the Prize is oriented toward recognizing outstanding personal or volunteer-based achievement in conservation and environmental justice, rather than professionally-based environmentalism.
Self-nominations are accepted. If an individual is a winner, they can designate the environmental grassroots organization that they want to receive the prize money.
The 2022 Anthony Grassroots Prize winner will be announced on Earth Day, April 22, 2022.
