EPA: The Earth Keeper Initiative funded by grants

The highly successful Earth Keeper Initiative would not be possible without funding.

Major grants and other contributions have been provided by a wide range of people who believe in saving the planet - from grassroots donors to a government agency.

Major funding has come from the United States Environmental Protection Agency and Thrivent Financial for Lutherans - a non-profit company that provides financial services for all faiths.

In an upcoming story - we'll look at Thrivent Financial and it's contributions to the projects including helping to create the student arm of the Earth Keeper Initiative at Northern Michigan University.

In part 2 of our series volunteer media advisor Greg Peterson looks at the EPA's contributions and reaction to the annual Earth Day clean sweeps:
