FY11 Industry Matching Grant Opportunities
For fiscal year 2011 TURI has three distinct matching grant opportunities available:
1. Larger-scale process modification/modernization matching grant funding to help off-set the payback period for installation and implementation of innovative TUR. Up to $15,000 is available for a company to implement and demonstrate new TUR at its facility in FY11. Proposals for this matching grant are due no later than September 24, 2010.
2. Smaller-scale matching grants for the purchase and installation of limited equipment, resulting in important TUR. Up to two $3,000 matching grants are available under this option. Awards for appropriate projects will be made on a first come first served basis. Proposals for small-scale equipment matching grants are due no later than January 14, 2011 (but are welcome prior to that time).
3. Demonstration site matching grant funding is available to companies who have already implemented changes in their facilities which have lead to important reductions in the use of toxic chemicals and/or resources (e.g. water, energy). One $4,000 demonstration-only matching grant will be awarded in FY11. Proposals for this matching grant opportunity are due no later than January 14, 2011 (but are welcome prior to that time).

**************************
TURI's Industry Matching Grant and Demonstration Site Program has provided funding, technical support, and technology dissemination for industries implementing innovative toxics use reduction technologies since 1996. In that time almost 40 companies have received over $500,000 from TURI. Grantees provide opportunities for their industry peers to see the technology up close, learn about associated management methods, and discover new opportunities to further reduce the use of toxic chemicals at their own facilities.

In 1999 the Institute included matching grant support for industries developing and improving their Environmental Management Systems as part of their overall toxics use reduction strategy. You can link to our EMS page to learn more about these matching grant projects.
