EPA's Environmental Justice Small Grants
Announcement-
Closes January 8th, 2010
http://www.epa.gov/compliance/environmentaljustice/grants/ej-smgrants.html
On October 28, 2009 the Request For
Applications (RFA) was released announcing the availability of funds and
solicitation of applications from eligible entities interested in participating
the Environmental Justice Small Grants Program. The
Environmental Justice Small Grants Program (EJSG), supports and empowers
communities working on solutions to local environmental and public health
issues. The closing date for the RFA is January 8th, 2010.
The primary purposes of proposed projects should
be to develop an understanding of environmental and public health issues and to
identify ways to address these issues at the local level, and educate and
empower the community. The long-term goals of the EJSG Program are to
help build the capacity of the communities with environmental justice concerns
and create self-sustaining, community-based partnerships that will continue to
improve local environments in the future.

EPA's Environmental Education
Grants Announcement, Closes December 15, 2009
http://www.epa.gov/enviroed/grants.html
Grants.gov is not being used for this
solicitation.
This solicitation is
requesting grant proposals to support environmental education projects that
promote environmental stewardship and help develop knowledgeable and responsible
students, teachers, and citizens. This grant program provides financial support
for innovative projects that design, demonstrate, or disseminate environmental
education practices, methods, or techniques as described in this notice.
EPA issues environmental education grants from
Headquarters as well as 10 EPA Regional offices. Though the same educational
priorities are used for both Regional and Headquarters grants, the EPA funding
amount requested determines whether the grant is awarded from a Region or from
Headquarters. The 10 EPA Regional offices fund projects that request EPA funds
for amounts from $5,000 to $50,000. EPA Headquarters funds projects that range
from requests of $50,001 to $200,000.
