Sustainable Finger Lakes (SFLX)

SFLX has supports local action by weaving together social equity, economic vitality, and environmental stewardship. Our longest-running initiative, launched in 2008, the Neighborhood Mini-Grant Program, has awarded 241 grants totaling $98,000 to grassroots sustainability projects in Tompkins County. This summer we're searching for sponsors to expand this successful program into Schuyler, Seneca, Yates, Chemung, and Tioga Counties. SFLX also manages the Finger Lakes Climate Fund, a local carbon offset program that funds clean energy upgrades for low-income households in 14 counties across the region. To grow this work, we’re inviting local businesses to join Finger Lakes Enterprises for Climate Action (FLECA) to help fund these efforts.
