EPA Accepting Applications for Environmental Education Grants until Nov. 21


U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 7 will accept proposals from eligible schools and entities through November 21, 2012, for the its 2012 Environmental Education grants to develop new programs promoting environmental stewardship in Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska.

EPA’s Environmental Education grants provide funding to local education agencies, state education and environmental agencies; colleges and universities; not-for-profit organizations; and non-commercial broadcasting entities. Tribal education agencies controlled by an Indian tribe, band or nation, including schools and community colleges, may also apply.

EPA expects to award one $216,000 grant in each of its 10 geographical regions, including Region 7, for a total of $2,160,000 in grants awarded nationwide.

Proposed projects should involve designing, demonstrating or developing innovative education tools and materials. Projects also should involve environmental education activities that go beyond disseminating information. A solicitation notice for the grants, and information about two webinars that will be held in September for interested applicants, are available 
online.

In EPA Region 7, all proposals for the 2012 grants must be received by 5 p.m. (CST) on Nov. 21, 2012. Through Sept. 30, 2012proposals should be mailed to Denise Morrison, Environmental Education Coordinator, EPA Region 7, Office of Public Affairs, 901 N. Fifth St., Kansas City, KS 66101. After Oct. 1, 2012, due to relocation of the EPA Regional Office, proposals should be mailed to Denise Morrison, Environmental Education Coordinator, EPA Region 7, Office of Public Affairs, 11201 Renner Blvd., Lenexa, KS 66219.
