Summary
The EEAI Mini-Grants program supports projects aimed at educating communities about environmental issues and enhancing ecological understanding. With grants of up to $350, successful proposals demonstrate a sustainable impact, such as integrating classroom curricula with experiential learning. Eligible applicants include Illinois educators who are members of the Environmental Education Association of Illinois (EEAI). This competitive grant process encourages innovative approaches to environmental education.Overview
Do you have a project that would educate your community about an environmental issue? Do you have a curriculum that will engage your participants in learning about an ecological concept? Can you provide an experience that will help students increase their understanding of the natural world? EEAI mini-grants are awarded each year for up to $350 per proposal. This is a competitive process with a state-wide review committee. Successful grants are ones that follow the guidelines listed below and show how the project will have a sustained impact. For example, a student field trip to learn about the function and value of wetlands will have more of an impact if supplies, field guides, and equipment are purchased and re-used, and the experience is supplemented with classroom curriculum. Eligible Applicants: Illinois formal and non-formal educators are eligible to apply. MUST be members of EEAI.Eligibility
