The Greater New Haven Green Fund promotes environmental quality and equity in the most environmentally distressed communities within the Greater New Haven area. The Fund provides grants and other incentives to support initiatives that help reduce exposure to air, water, and land pollution, and contribute to a more sustainable future.
