Grant Description
Award of $1,000 to a US or British Virgin Islands individual to honor outstanding leadership in environmental issues. The award is intended to recognize those who demonstrate leadership in environmental stewardship and in their support for sustainable development in their community. They can be from the public or private sector, including volunteers, grassroots activists, or experienced professionals. Regardless of their principal focus, nominees must be able to provide leadership for environmental progress.

Nominations should concentrate on the following four benchmarks, although each nomination need not address all four if one or more are not applicable to the nominee:

  • Nominee's potential for continued environmental leadership in the Virgin Islands.
  • Nominee's role in increasing public awareness about environmental issues in the Virgin Islands.
  • Nominee's role in developing, promoting, or assisting innovative programs or policies that protect key elements of the Virgin Islands’ environment.
  • Nominee's accomplishments in strengthening and providing leadership for Virgin Islands institutions dedicated to biodiversity conservation, historic preservation, natural resource management, or other environmental issues.
