Opportunity Information: Apply for EPA EE 23 01
The Environmental Education Local Grants Program for Region 1 is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to fund locally focused environmental education projects. The main goal is to strengthen environmental stewardship by helping students, educators, and community members become more informed about local environmental issues and more capable of making responsible, science-based decisions. Projects funded under this program are expected to build practical knowledge and skills, not just general awareness, so participants can better understand environmental challenges in their own communities and take meaningful actions to address them.
This opportunity supports projects that design, demonstrate, and/or disseminate environmental education practices, methods, or techniques. In practice, that can include creating new curricula or learning modules, piloting hands-on learning experiences, training teachers or community educators, developing field-based programs, or sharing proven approaches so other organizations and schools can replicate them. The focus is on environmental education that connects directly to local or regional concerns, with the intent that participants come away better equipped to evaluate environmental information, weigh tradeoffs, and participate constructively in solutions.
Funding is provided through a grant instrument, and the program is listed under CFDA (Assistance Listing) number 66.951. The funding opportunity number is EPA EE 23 01, and the title is Environmental Education Local Grants Program for Region 1. The EPA anticipated making about five awards under this competition, with a maximum award amount (ceiling) of $100,000 per grant. The opportunity was created on September 14, 2023, and the original application deadline was November 8, 2023.
Eligibility is summarized as "Others" with additional eligibility details referenced in the official announcement (the text field labeled Additional Information on Eligibility). That wording typically means applicants need to confirm their specific eligibility category by reviewing the full notice, but the program is clearly aimed at organizations that can deliver education-focused projects with measurable learning outcomes and a strong connection to local environmental priorities.Apply for EPA EE 23 01
