EPA Seeks Applicants for Environmental Education Grants
Agency announces up to $3.2 million to support community-based environmental education projects nationwide.
The EPA is seeking applicants for its Environmental Education Grant Program, announcing up to $3.2 million in funding to support local, community-based projects that promote environmental awareness and stewardship.
The EPA expects to award up to 16 grants nationwide, with individual awards ranging from $200,000 to $250,000. The grants are designed to help communities develop hands-on educational projects that encourage Americans to protect their water, health, and natural surroundings.
According to the agency, the program focuses on giving people the knowledge and skills needed to make informed environmental decisions, from safeguarding local waterways to promoting responsible practices at home. Funded projects emphasize real-world learning, community engagement, and practical solutions tailored to local environmental challenges.
The Notice of Funding Opportunity is now available on Grants.gov and the EPA’s Environmental Education Grant webpage. Applications are due March 3.
The EPA’s Environmental Education and Stewardship Division will host a webinar on Feb. 5 to provide an overview of the funding opportunity, offer guidance on writing competitive applications, and answer frequently asked questions. Registration information will be posted on the EPA’s environmental education grants webpage.
