Environmental 
Richmond relies upon a healthy and diverse landscape to maintain quality of life, biological diversity, and a resilient natural environment. Richmond residents play a key role in shaping the initiatives that contribute to healthy, diverse and functioning ecosystems. The new City of Richmond Environmental Grant will enable registered non-profit organizations (and businesses and individuals who collaborate with them) to organize environmental events and initiatives to enhance Richmond’s natural environment.
