Funding supports designing, demonstrating, and disseminating environmental education practices, including curricula, teacher training, community projects, and career development. The EPA's Environmental Education Grants Program is a core federal source, and various foundations and state agencies fund similar work. Programs often ask projects to address specific educational priorities such as community engagement or capacity building.
Yes. The EPA's Environmental Education Grants Program has supported projects since 1992 that promote environmental awareness and give people the skills to take responsible action. Eligible applicants include local education agencies, colleges and universities, state agencies, 501(c)(3) nonprofits, tribal organizations, and noncommercial educational broadcasters.
In addition to the EPA, state environmental and education agencies often run their own environmental education grants, and private and community foundations fund outdoor and place-based learning. Membership organizations like NAAEE maintain funding resources for the field. Schools and nonprofits frequently combine several smaller grants to sustain ongoing programming.
