What Are Zero Emission Grants?

From 2023 to 2027, the Trottier Family Foundation is offering grants to support zero-emission electric mobility projects in Montreal. This year, 4 grants of $4,500 will be offered to different groups or organizations that wish to implement initiatives to reduce greenhouse gases.

The purpose of these grants is to:
– support environmental initiatives
– encourage the development of zero emission electric mobility projects
– participate in the reduction of greenhouse gases
– reward creativity in service of the environment

The beneficiaries of the grants can be citizen or student groups, schools, daycares, NPOs or SMEs, as long as their headquarters or activities are in Montreal. The request must concern the purchase of equipment related to the sustainable mobility project. The number of projects rewarded will be 4 this year.

Thank you for the project submissions, registrations are now closed for 2024. Announcement of the winners will be on May 22nd.
