ABOUT THE PROJECT

What is Sustaining Futures Raising Communities 2022 initiative?

Each year Saint-Gobain North America's Sustaining Futures Raising Communities program will work to focus on different building types and to support a portfolio of projects and programs using Saint-Gobain materials and additional donations to enhance spaces and buildings driving sustainability and creation of innovative solutions to build a better tomorrow.

At Saint-Gobain, we believe that tomorrow starts with a healthy and sustainable space to learn. Saint-Gobain North America's Sustaining Futures Raising Communities (SFRC) 2022 will focus on educational institutions specifically public, vocational, technical and charter high schools, public and charter middle schools, and community colleges, pursuing any type of project or support for programs that will help create or transform educational spaces to enrich students learning opportunities and impact healthier, vibrant, sustainable environments.

We believe that tomorrow starts with sustainable, comfortable spaces, and materials to support every student and teacher. This contest will afford the opportunity for students, teachers and parents to apply for projects to improve spaces in their schools or to request materials to support the programs. In our deepest rooted communities in Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Georgia through our SFRC 2022 program value investing in future generations that will lead the way in STEM, drive sustainability and work toward a better tomorrow through actions and involvement in the communities we work and live in.
