environmentally. Designed for those new—and not so new—to brownfield redevelopment, this
workshop will guide you through an interactive series of presentations, panels, and case studies. You will
gain knowledge and insights on how best to approach and structure your redevelopment project.

There are a variety of foundations through which you can receive funding for brownfield projects. While a fund may not directly state "site assessment" or
brownfield cleanup" under the eligible costs, keep an eye out for areas such as community development, health, the environment, economic opportunity, etc. If you
have a specific redevelopment project planned, look for funding for that kind of development (affordable housing, infrastructure, parks, etc). Foundation directories
are very helpful for finding funding opportunities, including the www.foundationcenter.org and www.tgci.com. Www.fundersnetwork.org provides a list of
foundations working on issues of smart growth and development.
