FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION GRANTS ARE NOW AVAILABLE

Proposals for Environmental Education grants to develop new programs or to improve the quality of existing programs will be accepted until Nov. 23 from Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska communities by EPA Region 7 in Kansas City, Kan.

EPA regional offices may award grants up to $50,000. Grants for more than $50,000 and up to $100,000 are awarded by EPA Headquarters in Washington.

Proposals should be mailed to Denise Morrison, Environmental Education Coordinator, Office of External Programs, EPA Region 7, 901 N. 5th St., Kansas City, KS 66101. They must be postmarked on or before 5 p.m. CST Nov. 23. Proposals received after the due date will not be considered. The Federal Register announcing the grants program is available on the Web at https://www.epa.gov/enviroed/grants.html. You may contact Mrs. Morrison by email at [email protected] or by calling (913) 551-7402 or toll-free at (800) 223-0425.

Environmental Education grants provide funding to local education agencies, state education or environmental agencies, colleges or universities, not-for-profit organizations, or noncommercial educational broadcasting entities.

Tribal education agencies, which are controlled by an Indian tribe, band or nation, may also apply, including a school or community college.

These projects should involve designing, demonstrating, or developing education tools and materials. Projects should be environmental education activities that go beyond disseminating information.
