The Green Source is a resource guide prepared by Environment Canada that will help you locate numerous sources of funding for environmental projects. It includes information on public and private sector programs and organizations that provide financial assistance, labour costs or in-kind donations to community groups.

The Green Source is available in searchable database format, or in hard copy format available from the Environment Canada regional office serving your area.

If you know a source of funding for environmental projects that is not currently listed in the Green Source, please send your suggestion to: ecoaction@ec.gc.ca.
