Grants & Gifts

Grants

The Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful Core Communities Program (KPB) awarded Allegheny College's Center for Economic and Environmental Development (CEED) three internships for summer 2007. Eleven communities across the state were awarded internships to implement art and greening projects. Meadville is the only community awarded more than one intern. KPB/CEED interns worked with CEED's director, Professor of Art Amara Geffen, to complete the three community-improvement projects this summer. The projects include two murals and a garden.

The John Nesbit Rees and Sarah Henne Rees Charitable Foundation has awarded a grant to Allegheny College's Northwest Pennsylvania Sustainable Forestry Project, an initiative of the Center for Economic and Environmental Development, to improve high school education about sustainable forestry. The College will collaborate with teachers at schools in the Titusville and Meadville areas to educate youth on the important roles that forests play in the region's economy and ecology.

Erie Insurance has agreed to establish an endowment to support stipends for students participating in collaborative research and internships. Once the endowment is fully funded, it will support four to five students engaged in research and internships each year.
