Sustainable Finger Lakes, formerly known as Sustainable Tompkins, is a non-profit organization based in Ithaca, NY. Since its establishment in 2008, the organization has been dedicated to promoting environmental sustainability, equity, and social justice in Tompkins County. Through their Neighborhood Mini-Grant Program, they have awarded over $85,000 in grants to support grassroots projects that focus on sustainable food systems, alternative transportation, waste reduction, energy conservation, and environmental education. The program is open to individuals, organizations, neighborhood groups, and local microbusinesses, with priority given to new and small entities with limited sources of support. The Neighborhood Mini-Grant Program has had a significant impact on the community, supporting initiatives such as the establishment of farmers markets, toy libraries, neighborhood gardens, trail restorations, and bicycle maintenance education workshops. Sustainable Finger Lakes is currently accepting applications for their fall 2023/winter 2024 round of grants, with proposals reviewed by a team of community members. The program is sponsored by NYSEG, Craig Riecke, and local donors, and aims to create a more sustainable, resilient, and inclusive community in Tompkins County.Generated from the website

The Finger Lakes Land Trust was founded in 1989 to protect those lands that define the character of the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York. To date, the Land Trust has protected more than 10, 000 acres of the region's wetlands, forests, farmland, grassland, and gorges. This has been accomplished through the establishment of nature preserves that are open to the public for quiet recreation, the use of conservation easements ( voluntary agreements on private lands ), and the provision of technical assistance and educational programs to local governments, landowners, and the public. The Land Trust is a nonprofit organization support primarily by membership donations and grants from private foundations. We hope you'll become a member and support the work we do. The Land Trust has over 200 active volunteers and could use your help today. Contact us for more information about volunteer opportunities.
