Chason Hecht, President of from Retensa and I talked about his Green Grant on my blog talk radio show.  This is FREE GRANT MONEY and is meant to:

Develop People.

WHAT IS THE RETENSA GREEN GRANT?

The Retensa Green Grant enables environmentally responsible organizations to create exceptional work environments. The program awards grants to organizations committed to providing green services, creating green energy, and developing green products or sustainable food.

They even extended the deadline for us!!  I am helping Retensa get the good word out about green grants.  They are not a sponsor of the green living guy.  It’s just the right thing to do!

To be eligible, you must fulfill all five (5) requirements below:

1. Be a US-based company.
2. Be in operation for at least two years.
3. Have ten or more employees.
4. Green energy, products, or services must make up 51% or more of the total company revenue.
5. You must be able to categorize your company as either green product, green energy, or green service focused. See definitions below.

Get some green money!

How it works: If you are an green company with AWESOME ideas, you will need Human Resource based programs to attract, motivate, and retain the top talent in your industry. Corporations pay good money for this kind of consulting services!!

 That’s where the Retensa Green Grant can help. After you apply and win, Retensa will deliver free HR services that will allow you to increase productivity and innovation, reduce turnover, and achieve your environmental and business goals. The result is a better environment for everyone.

Why it matters: Green companies need great employees to implement their vision, mission, and causes. Retensa will support green organizations to nurture innovation, integrity, and impeccability to improve HR efficiency and create a high performing workforce. Research shows that actively engaged employees have 32-48% higher productivity. Having talented, engaged employees will provide green businesses with a competitive advantage to accelerate growth and positive environmental impact.
