This free one-hour webinar, the first in a series offered through the Institute’s Sustainable Communities Learning Network, explored different funding sources for sustainability projects available from the State of California and tools to access those funding opportunities.  Panelist Dana Papke Waters discussed the new Funding Wizard and other tools the California Air Resources Board offers through CoolCalifornia.com.
