IRC and the Environmental Foundation Award Grants

On December 15, 2003 Interface Research Corporation and the Interface Environmental Foundation awarded grants to 30 school projects focused on environmental awareness. Thanks to the efforts of dedicated Interface employees and the teachers they sponsored, Interface was able to reach over 5,000 children this year.

Applications were evaluated based on how well the proposed projects would increase environmental awareness and responsibility, enrich curriculum, provide meaningful and memorable learning experiences for many children, incorporate nontraditional experiences and provide for the efficient use of funds.

Listed below are the grant recipients for the 2003-04 school year. Some of the schools will be providing stories and pictures pertaining to their projects. Those will be posted on www.InterfaceSustainability.com at a later date.
