The application period for this grant cycle ended
December 20, 2002.
There are 20 million gallons of used motor oil improperly managed in
California annually. Nonprofit organizations have an opportunity to work
with the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) to address
this serious environmental threat. The CIWMB administers a used oil
recycling program which includes providing grants to nonprofit
organizations for used oil and used oil filter recycling projects. The
CIWMB and local government recognize the value that nonprofit groups such
as auto enthusiast clubs, community service organizations and
environmental groups bring to recycling efforts. The CIWMB is looking for
nonprofit groups to partner with local government agencies to promote used
oil and filter recycling in California.
Eligibility

501(c)(6), or 501(c)(10) of the Internal Revenue Code may apply for

Applicants must submit a proposal, IRS letter of determination, California
Franchise Tax Board letter of good standing, and letters of support and
