A Call To Action  

A Call to Action is a small grant program for teachers and their students to take on solution-focused projects related to water or climate change at their schools or neighborhoods. With this program, we hope to inspire a sense of ownership and hopefulness in students as they work together to make a positive impact.

Applications are open for the 2024-2025 school year

Teachers can request up to $1,000 for their project. Checks will be made payable to the school or an ASB account at the school. No checks will be made payable to individuals. We aim to support projects across our service areas and prioritize applicants from as many locations as possible.
