Under the Environmental Education Grants Program, EPA seeks grant proposals from eligible applicants to support environmental education projects that promote environmental awareness and stewardship and help provide people with the skills to take responsible actions to protect the environment.  This grant program provides financial support for projects that design, demonstrate, and/or disseminate environmental education practices, methods, or techniques. Since 1992, EPA has distributed between $2 and $3.5 million in grant funding per year supporting more than 3,600 grants.

This year the EE Grants Program anticipates issuing two Requests for Proposals (RFPs), also known as Solicitation Notices. Proposals under the 2014 EE Model Grants RFP are now being accepted through February 2, 2015. Additional information on a 2014 EE Local Grants RFP will be posted in early winter.
