The Sprout Fund Spring Program catalyzed community-based projects that demonstrated the value of biodiversity, increased understanding of its vital role both locally and globally, and provided the citizens of the Pittsburgh region with opportunities for meaningful participation in these efforts throughout 2011.
Following the submission of 75 requests for support in early fall 2010, The Sprout Fund engaged citizens from across the region in a comprehensive community decisionmaking process to award $190,000 to 20 biodiversity projects.
