Rockwell Collins seeking Green Communities grant proposals

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (Jan. 12, 2015) –Rockwell Collins is currently seeking proposals for its 2015 Green Communities grant program. Launched 10 years ago, the program helps fund environmental projects in communities where the company operates around the world. Applications will be accepted through Feb. 13, 2015, with grant winners being announced on or around Earth Day, April 22, 2015.

To apply for a grant, a non-profit group must be teamed with a Rockwell Collins employee or retiree, and the projects must improve the environmental condition of a community in which Rockwell Collins operates.

"We're very committed to enhancing the environment of the communities where our employees live and work, and that's why we've invested more than $600,000 since this program started,” said Jenny Becker, community relations manager for Rockwell Collins. "Funded projects have addressed a wide variety of environmental issues in the past, and we know there is still work to be done."

Grant awards will range from $500 to $2,500. Only projects conducted or sponsored by qualified non-profit organizations or public/government entities are eligible. 

A grant review committee will judge project applications based on criteria including:

• Tangible environmental benefits of the project
• Sustainability of the project benefits
• Participation in the project by Rockwell Collins employees and/or retirees
• Completion of the project within the calendar year of the grant award
• Agreement to participate in publicizing the grant and the completed project
