The Oak Hill Fund, formed in 2002 after the W. Alton Jones Foundation was split into three separate foundations, is seeking grant applications from nonprofits with 501c(3) standing for its Environmentally Sustainable Affordable Design program.

The program offers grants in four areas intended to encourage sustainability and affordability in residential design:

1) educational initiatives;
2) initiatives that incorporate sustainability and affordability in residential design and construction;
3) efforts to provide the public in the Southeastern U.S. with access to green building technologies;
and 4) local grants for nonprofits in the Charlottesville, Virginia area. The Oak Hill Fund expects to disburse $1.5 million during its first year.
