Atlantic City Electric recently opened its Sustainable Communities Grant Program in partnership with Sustainable Jersey for the sixth consecutive year.
Municipalities across South Jersey are eligible to apply for the program, which includes $25,000 in environmental stewardship grants for projects that restore habitats, support native plantings, and improve access to outdoor spaces. An additional $10,000 in resiliency grants is available for community-driven solutions that enhance safety and reliability during emergencies, including severe weather events.
The program, which has distributed $315,000 in funds across South Jersey, supports projects focused on environmental stewardship, open space preservation, and improvements to parks and recreation resources.
“Supporting our customers and the places they call home is central to everything we do,” Phil Vavala, region president of Atlantic City Electric, said. “From repairing emergency vehicles to creating new canoe trails, we’ve seen what’s possible when community-driven ideas get the support they deserve, and we’re proud to help make it happen.”
The application period is open now through June 30. Municipalities across South Jersey are encouraged to apply. Learn more and access the application on Sustainable Jersey’s website.
“These grants empower municipalities to carry out environmental and resiliency initiatives that bolster our protection against extreme weather and climate change impacts here in New Jersey,” Randall Solomon, executive director of Sustainable Jersey, said. “We appreciate our collaboration with Atlantic City Electric in advancing meaningful projects through the Sustainable Communities Grant Program.”
