How the fund works

The Climate Action Fund helps local charities reduce greenhouse gas emissions and boost the economy. Here's how it works:

Each year, the City invites non-profits to apply to the fund.
The Kingston Environmental Advisory Forum works with City staff to check if applications meet eligibility requirements.
The committee members recommend projects for funding to City Council.
After Council approval, project summaries are posted online.
Residents can support their preferred project by donating through Canada Helps, or at their local KCCU branch

Project snapshot:

A licensed electrical Contractor with a specialty in remote off-grid agricultural sites will install solar panels on shed roofs. These roofs also double as a rainwater collection structure and will increase the volume of water storage.  

The panels will provide power for: 

A solar-powered irrigation system that will draw from either stored rainwater or from an existing in-ground well 
Recharging stations for electric batteries
Lighting and other outdoor electric chargers
