Toyota Environmental Activities Grant Program Secretariat
Toyota Environmental Activities Grant Program Secretariat
We are pleased to inform you that we'll accept application for FY2008
Program starting from April 25, 2008.
This year's topic is the pressing worldwide environmental issues of
"global warming" and "bio-diversity." The program has two categories of
grants as same as last year's. One is "general grants" with no
restriction on the implementation sites or on the grant amount per
project. And the other is "small-scale grants," targeting activities in
Japan, with a limit on the grant amount per project.
Also please note that past grantees of Small Scale Grants are not
eligible in the same category for the purpose to make the category as a
step toward General Grant category and to provide opportunities to more
organizations.
For the details, please see the program summary below.
We would very much appreciate it if you could kindly circulate this
information among those whom it may concern.
