The Yolo Air Quality Education Grant was established in 2022 with the goal of improving air quality by engaging Yolo County children in programs that drive behavior change through education, infrastructure improvements, or other methods.
The purpose of the Yolo Air Quality Education grant is to fund programs that foster behavior change among children, leading to improved air quality. Programs could include educating children about the importance of understanding and monitoring air quality, introducing children to strategies for improving air quality, making infrastructure improvements to drive behavior change, and more.
In 2023, through the Yolo Air Quality Education grant, YCF anticipates awarding 1-2 grants, totaling $10,000. Applications may request up to $10,000. Funding will be disbursed in January 2024.
