The U.S. EPA's Environmental Education Grants program funds K-12 environmental education projects across the country. Colorado schools and nonprofits can apply for grants of $50,000-$100,000 to build environmental literacy and climate science programs.
What This Grant Funds
Grants support environmental education curriculum, educator training, and student programs that build environmental awareness and responsible stewardship. Climate science, air quality, water quality, and ecosystems are common topic areas. Programs must reach K-12 students directly.
Who Can Apply
Local education agencies, nonprofits, state agencies, and tribal governments are eligible. Applications must demonstrate a clear connection to EPA's environmental education priorities and show how the program will build long-term environmental literacy in the target community.
How to Apply
When available, applications are submitted through Grants.gov. Check the EPA's environmental education grants page for the current RFP and deadlines. EPA EE grants go through regional offices, so Colorado applicants should contact the Region 8 office in Denver for guidance.
