What is the Green Initiatives Fund?

The Ministry of Environment has temporarily suspended application intake for the Green Technology Commercialization Program while a program review is undertaken. The program review is expected to be completed by fall 2008. Please check website for program updates.


The Green Initiatives Fund provides financial support to Saskatchewan's people, communities and businesses to help them Go Green.

The objectives of the Green Initiatives Fund are to:

  • Promote environmentally sound decisions and actions;
  • Increase awareness of environmental impacts and solutions;
  • Commercialize new technologies that protect the natural environment while diversifying the economy; and
  • Support activities that balance the considerations of the environment, economy and society.

 

The Green Initiatives Fund has 2 programs:

Sustainable Communities Grant

Green Technology Commercialization Grant
