Rockwell Collins awarded $90,000 in Green Communities grants to 48 environmental projects this week. The Green Communities grant program, in its eighth year, funds projects that improve the environmental condition of communities where Rockwell Collins operates. To apply, a qualified non-profit organization or public/government entity must team with a Rockwell Collins employee or retiree. Grants were awarded by a review committee based on criteria including tangible environmental benefits of the project; sustainability of the project benefits; participation in the project by Rockwell Collins employees and/or retirees; completion of the project within the calendar year of the grant award and agreement to participate in publicizing the grant and the completed project.
