TogetherGreen is a new National Audubon Society program to build conservation leadership, engage people in conservation action, and achieve lasting conservation results. The program is open to all members of the Audubon network (certified Chapters, state and national programs, and Center programs) as well as independent Audubon entities that wish to form a cooperative arrangement with National Audubon Society for this purpose. However, an important requirement for all grantees is the significant involvement of an additional partner-organization outside the Audubon network that will allow us to reach new audiences and increase the impact of project results.

One-year grants of $5,000 to $100,000 are offered for projects in urban, suburban, or rural areas that:
* Conserve or restore habitat and protect species, improve water quality or quantity, and reduce the threat of global warming;
* Engage new and diverse audiences in conservation actions;
* Inspire and use innovative approaches and technologies to engage people and achieve conservation results; and
* Build the capacity of conservation professionals within the Audubon network and beyond.

Successful grant proposals will clearly state project objectives and anticipated results and highlight how innovative strategies will be used to achieve objectives while building on existing best practices. TogetherGreen will support either new projects or new approaches that improve initiatives already underway. Projects should be completed within the one-year term of the grant. Applicants can apply for a second year of funding, if additional funding will clearly build on the success of the first year's grant. However, only a limited number of projects will be able to receive additional support. Applicants are encouraged to seek matching funds to leverage TogetherGreen funding.
