EPA Accepting Applications for Environmental Education Grant Funding 

 

WASHINGTON - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is accepting grant
applications for a total of $3.4 million in funding for environmental
education projects and programs.  EPA expects to award approximately 100
grants ranging from $5,000 to $200,000 and will accept applications until
December 15, 2009. 

 

The purpose of the Environmental Education Grant Program is to promote
environmental stewardship and help develop knowledgeable and responsible
students, teachers and citizens.  The grants provide financial support for
innovative projects that design, demonstrate, or disseminate environmental
education practices, methods, or techniques. Projects should involve
environmental education activities that go beyond disseminating information. 

 

The Environmental Education Grant Program provides funding to local education
agencies, state education or environmental agencies, colleges or
universities, not-for-profit organizations, or noncommercial educational
broadcasting entities. Tribal education agencies, which are controlled by an
Indian tribe, band or nation, may also apply, including a school or community
college.  

 

Since the program began, EPA has provided more than $45 million in funding to
more than 3,000 agencies and organizations.
