Green Bay Packers Foundation grant for Conservation Corps

AmeriCorps crew members receive a $975 biweekly living allowance; partnership projects run $6,000-$7,500 per week.

School food waste composting pilot

Pilot-scale only for now; any district-wide composting infrastructure would be a much larger future ask.

Safe Streets for All grant project

Funded by a federal grant with a consultant team already mobilized.

Flood resiliency projects and Green Tier reporting

$2.1 million for Emily Park (about half grant-funded) and $8 million for Van Beaver Park, still seeking grant funding.

Neighbors for Nature pollinator program

Program relies on donations worth over $5,000 each from Green Bay Botanical Garden and Stone Silo.

Native plant kit giveaway and pollinator corridor

Kits are free to residents; funding came partly from community donations including several thousand dollars from Union Congregational Church.

Energize Green Bay clean energy campaign results

Residents can still save big on energy upgrades, but most federal solar and wind tax credits end July 4 — geothermal incentives remain.

Connect the Bay coastal resilience grant

$913,482 in federal grant funds with only about $15,000 of in-kind city match.

Fire Station Flats brownfield cleanup and financing

About $1 million in city-administered loans plus a $54,400 Stantec task order, with the site cleanup plan estimated at $960,000.

Leaf collection practices and stormwater protection

Leaf collection and composting cost the stormwater utility over $500,000 annually.

800-tree donation for the East River Greenway

No direct city cost — trees funded by grant money.

City energy benchmarking and community energy tracking

Storm flooding and green stormwater infrastructure

Cleanup bills and any stormwater upgrades will land on the city budget — meaning taxpayers could feel it down the road.

OneEnergy solar land lease

Lease revenue to the city of $1,000 per acre, rising 2% annually.

EPA Environmental Education Grant opportunity

Potential federal funding for environmental education projects, though the amount isn't known yet.

Youth engagement on the Sustainability Commission

Pilot community food waste composting program

Federal climate grant money is limited — Wisconsin got $3 million versus Minnesota's $200 million — so any local program will likely depend on grant timing and city capacity.
