We’re very excited to announce that we’ve been awarded Nau’s inaugural Grant for Change! Nau, a hip little clothing company based in Portland, Oregon, will support our climate change work over the next year with a $10,000 grant. This year’s award began with an open nomination process that brought in 294 people or projects over six weeks. (It was an inspiring list of independent movers and shakers including our friends photographer Tim Matsui and Derek and Michele Long from Sustainable Connections.) The pool was winnowed down in part by popular vote – thanks to all of you who signed in to give our project the thumbs up! You can view the top 10 finalists and learn more about G4C on Nau’s Web site.

We’ll announce many more details about this new partnership over the coming weeks. If you’re in New York, join us for the kick-off party on November 21, 2009.

A big thank you to all the folks at Nau!
