Hi there! I'm Moire Loftus, Foundation Relations Manager for Conservation Law Foundation.

Good Afternoon Everyone. Andrea Kunst from Boston Green Academy.

Welcome everyone!! Please add questions to the chat as we go along!

Other than the final report, will interim reports or regular meetings be required?

Can you please speak about the reporting timeline for those whose current grant ends in December 2022? I want to be clear on the recommendation to complete reporting by September 8th

Could you explain what you define as a "collaborative" project?

Sorry if I missed this - does the entire project we are seeking funding for need to take place within Greater Boston?

Confirming that match is encouraged but not required?

To follow on a prior question, it appears that the requirement is for projects only located in Boston-proper... Greater Boston is not sufficient. Is that right?

.

Is there an explanation of allowed use of funds in the RFP? We have a couple of projects that likely fit eligibility criteria, and to make a decision between them, it would help to know whether some of the funds could be used to stipend students with internships in green sectors.

Thanks for this great opportunity ~ That said, my project is in Cambridge adjacent to a large affordable housing community along Rindge Ave. in the Alewife area. So... I hope you’re able to expand to Greater Boston in the future!

Thank you all for joining us!

Thank you, all! Please reach out to Foundation@LibertyMutual.com with additional questions, and do not hesitate to share the RFP with other orgs in the space!
