NSFM's Carbon Surcharge Fund Award
In 2012, NSFM's Board of Directors passed a motion to add a $5 carbon surcharge fee to its conference registrations to mitigate the greenhouse gas emissions generated from hosting these events, as well as on its expense claims for staff and committee members to offset travel. This Carbon Surcharge Fund is collected in a special account. Between 2014 and 2023 the funds were awarded via an award submission and adjudication process. Starting in 2026, it will be awarded to a charitable group(s) identified by the municipality (ies) which win the Climate Change Leaders Award. To view Past Recipients: Carbon Surcharge Fund Award
