The Grants Program sponsored by EPA's Environmental Education Division (EED), Office of Children's Health Protection and Environmental Education, supports environmental education projects that enhance the public's awareness, knowledge, and skills to help people make informed decisions that affect environmental quality. EPA awards grants each year based on funding appropriated by Congress. Annual funding for the program ranges between $2 and $3 million. Most grants will be in the $15,000 to $25,000 range.

Status of Funding for EE Grants
At this time, funding for EPA's Environmental Education Program is uncertain because the federal budget for FY 2009 is not yet final. Since EPA cannot be certain of the funding to be appropriated by Congress, potential applicants should be aware of the possibility that funding will not become available for these grants.
