Lieutenant Governor Billy Nungesser and Keep Louisiana Beautiful (KLB) are pleased to accept applications online for the Greener Grounds Grant, Beautification Grant, and Healthy Communities Grant. All three grant programs were created to support community improvement, engagement, prevent litter, and promote environmental stewardship.
“Louisiana’s natural beauty and welcoming communities are what make our state special, and keeping them looking their best takes all of us working together,” said Lieutenant Governor Billy Nungesser. “These grants empower local partners to prevent litter, beautify neighborhoods, and promote responsible waste practices that benefit residents and visitors alike. I’m grateful to our state legislature for supporting litter abatement, allowing us to implement grant opportunities to benefit our local communities.”
The Greener Grounds Grant is a reimbursement grant of up to $10,000 that helps large outdoor events such as festivals and fairs implement best practices for litter prevention, recycling, and waste reduction.
The Healthy Communities Grant provides funding ranging from $2,500 to $10,000 for local projects and programs that encourage behavioral changes to improve the appearance of Louisiana communities. Projects may focus on litter removal, prevention and education and other efforts.
The Beautification Grant offers reimbursement funding from $1,000 to $10,000 for projects that enhance the appearance of public spaces throughout Louisiana. Projects should focus on beautifying community entry points, public spaces, or highly trafficked roadway medians. Research shows people are less likely to litter in areas that are attractive, well-maintained, and demonstrate community pride.
“Through these three grant programs, KLB aims to empower communities and organizations to take pride in their surroundings and work together to protect and enhance our Sportsman’s Paradise,” said Susan Russell, KLB Executive Director.
Applications for all three grants must be submitted by June 21, 2026
