Who can apply
“…to city and county governments, schools, nonprofits, civic groups and businesses working to make Arkansas cleaner, greener and more beautiful.”
Businesses are named, so a for-profit school can apply. The project must fit one of four areas: beautification and eco-restoration, litter prevention, recycling and waste reduction, or environmental education for Arkansas students. It pays you back after you spend. Food, drinks and large construction aren't covered.

Timing
