Building on Our First Round
The Greenlight Project awarded $54,232.49 to 16 projects across Northeastern Pennsylvania during its inaugural grant cycle.
From public safety and emergency response to food access, recreation, workforce training and community resources, these grants helped local organizations move meaningful projects forward.
We are proud of what our inaugural recipients have accomplished and excited to build on that impact with the 2026–2027 Protect & Preserve grant cycle.
