Environmental Education

Local Grants available

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

(EPA) has announced $2.7 million in funding is

available for the FY2016 Environmental Education

(EE) Grants Program. The EPA said in a release

that grants will support local environmental

education projects that promote environmental

awareness and stewardship and help provide

people with the skills to take responsible actions to

protect the environment.

The EE Grants Program provides nancial

support for projects that design, demonstrate and/

or disseminate environmental education practices,

methods or techniques, EPA said.

Up to three grants from each of the agency’s

10 regional ofces are expected to be awarded for

a total of approximately 30 grants nationwide,

said EPA, to entities such as state education or

environmental agencies, colleges or universities,

nonprot organizations or tribal education

agencies, including schools and community colleges

controlled by Indian tribes, bands or nations.

Applicant organizations must be located in the

United States or its territories, and the majority

of the educational activities must take place in

the United States, Canada, Mexico or the U.S.

territories, the agency said.

Since 1992, EPA said it has distributed between

$2 million and $3.5 million in grant funding per

year through the EE Grants Program, supporting

more than 3,600 grants. In FY2016, award

amounts for grants will be up to $91,000.

The deadline to submit an application is April 8,

2016.
