A portion of our annual giving through our Grants Program is earmarked for environmental causes. These funds help support local conservation and preservation projects, address the loss of biodiversity, and engage the public with nature. Every year, our Environmental Grant Committee always has a stack of quality proposals to sort through. Of course, it would be wonderful to fund everything. Here are a few of the organizations receiving grants:
Environmental grants are 100% managed by employees who serve on our Environmental Grants Committee. They review annual proposals from across the globe. Up to 20% of the grants are awarded globally.
Environmental stewardship is a core value that guides business decisions and the employee culture at CST. The Environmental Grants program provides an opportunity for CST to fund projects aimed at ecosystem protection and improvement, wildlife research, pollution and waste reduction, environmental education and engagement, and conservation.
Applications for grants will be accepted through May 1st annually. Priority will be given to action-oriented projects with at least 70% of the overall funding going to projects that have direct impact on the environment, ecosystems, and research. The remaining funds will be allocated to education and engagement projects.
