used in conjunction with Keep Durham Beautiful.  Grant amounts are
normally $500 although the Grants Committee will consider any larger
grant request if funding is available.

 

KDB Teachers Grants

Any teacher in the Durham Public School System is encouraged to apply
for a KDB Teachers Grant of $250 to be used for programs and events
related to KDB's core issues of litter prevention, recycling & waste
