The goal for all successful projects is to become self-sustaining and provide a long-term environmental contribution to New Brunswick. If the project will take more than one year to complete, include the current status, i.e. year 2 of 3 in your application.
If you plan to submit additional requests to the Environmental Trust Fund for your project, please include the following details in your applications:
- The number of years the project is to be spread out over
- Average amount per year
There is no guarantee that funding will be granted through the Environmental Trust Fund to continue assistance year to year. A new application must be submitted each year.
Briefly describe how the project will continue after the period of Environmental Trust Fund support has ended i.e. either through alternate sources of funding or as a self-sustaining project.
The Environmental Trust Fund review process can be fast-tracked if the organization has received funding in the past. If you are a part of a large organization with many branches and you are not familiar with prior funding within your organization, please limit your application to your mandate within the organization.
Full disclosure of all funding is required. Support from the fund may be used to complement existing federal, provincial, and private programs. Having other sources of funding may enhance the likelihood of support from the fund.
Project proponents may be asked to seek alternate or supplementary funding through other sources. Should other sources of funding be confirmed after the project has been submitted, please notify the department.
Goodwill and in-kind contributions are not used to calculate the total cost of the project, but it is important to include this type of assistance, both in terms of its monetary value and as an indication of support for your application.
