The Envirofund was established by Hamilton City Council to assist individuals, groups and community agencies to fund projects and initiatives, generally outside Council's core responsibilities, which encourage sound environmental improvement in Hamilton and contribute to the sustainability of the city.
Individuals, schools, community groups, and environmental groups can apply for funding up to $5000 for their projects. These projects typically include local environmental restoration projects, environmental seminars and workshops, environmental research, environmental education activities, and practical environmental initiatives.
Each group must provide feedback on project progress within six months of receiving funding and is expected to complete a final report detailing outcomes of the project.
