IREJN received its 2009 grant to gather influencers within diverse faith communities of CT to foster and 'Urban Eden" gardening initiative. A half-day conference will gather holders of church and seminary properties with faith based environmentalists and gardening enthusiasts to develop the infrastructure for faith communities to be a bold partner in a local, sustainable food initiative.

In 2007, IREJN received a grant to organize congregations to do local fundraising for energy auditing classes (This Old House of Worship). Funding was used for staff time to support congregations in their efforts to organize, promote and fundraise for the class.

IREJN received support in 2005 for This Old House Worship, an interfaith power and light program to promote and install conservation/stewardship measures at houses of worship and homes of congregants.

The group received a grant in 2002 to begin a Youth Initiative within the religious communities. With a goal to educate the youth of Connecticut through outreach to youth groups, IREJC offered Outdoor Fellowship, an outdoor program designed to promote appreciation and stewardship of the earth through activities ranging from hikes and canoe trips to river clean-ups and tree plantings.

IREJN received a grant in 2001 to inspire, educate and prepare people for action advocacy around environmental issues that impact on the health and well-being in Connecticut, specifically on the Filthy Five power plants.
