Environmental Education Grant Program (Request for Proposal)
The Trust has made available $290,000 for this grant program in Fiscal Year 2026. Individual applications may be submitted for amounts detailed below. Track 1 Meaningful Watershed Educational Experience (MWEE) Implementation: Applicants may request up to $40,000 per year for up to three years for projects that focus on piloting (one-year requests) or embedding systemic (multiyear requests) MWEEs into school district’s curriculum. The MWEE model integrates best practices of environmental education pedagogy where students investigate local environmental issues through classroom and outdoor experiences, engage in problem-solving, and take action to address their issues through projects and civic engagement. Track 2 Environmental Literacy Capacity Building: Applicants may request up to $40,000 for the 2025 school year (March 2026 – August 2027) for district or state-wide environmental literacy capacity building and collaboration efforts that advance environmental literacy, especially MWEEs, within school district(s). For requests $10,000 and under, consider applying for a Trust Youth Environmental Education Grant.
