New Pig, a leader in providing innovative environmental leak and spill containment products worldwide, announced today - Earth Day - that they are launching the PIG Difference Grant Program. The program is designed to encourage local wetland, lake, stream and watershed protection through pollution prevention and waste reduction projects that contribute to a cleaner world. Several times a year, New Pig will accept project entries and provide funding of approximately $25,000 annually in the form of cash and in-kind donations of New Pig products to the winners.
“Through the Pig Difference Grant Program, New Pig will call for water quality improvement project entries three times a year,” said Doug LaPlante, New Pig Vice President, Strategy. “This is an exciting opportunity for New Pig to assist community organizations and get advice from our customers – many who are highly skilled environmental professionals.” According to Laplante, “New Pig’s customers will help select the strongest programs as grant winners”.
