The Grants Program sponsored by EPA's Office of Environmental Education

The Grants Program sponsored by EPA's Office of Environmental Education
(OEE), Office of External Affairs 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. This RFP solicits grant proposals to support EPA�s mission to promote
environmental stewardship and help develop knowledgeable and responsible students, teachers, and citizens. Under this RFP, EPA expects to
provide financial support to eligible recipients (as defined in Section
III(A)) for the development and implementation of innovative projects
whose primary focus is to make and manage sub-awards to organizations,
other than their own, to design, demonstrate, and/or disseminate
environmental education practices, methods, and/or techniques as
described in this RFP. Proposals should provide information about how
they will make sub-awards that educate diverse populations on
environmental issues that especially affect their local communities,
including but not limited to minority, low income and tribal
communities. The National Environmental Education Act requires that 25% of all funds
obligated under the EE Section 6 Grant Program in a fiscal year be for
sub-grants of not more than $5,000. EPA plans to select one applicant
in each of its 10 Regions to award and manage the sub-grants as
described in this RFP. The amount available for each successful applicant under this program is approximately $150,000. Each regional recipient will be required to
use exactly $92,273.50 of this amount for a minimum of 19 sub-awards of
up to $5,000 each to entities that would qualify as �eligible
applicants� as defined in Section III(A). Grantees must establish methods to document and report measurable
results from grant projects. To ensure that grant proposals are
competitive, applicants should carefully read Sections IV and V
regarding how to structure a proposal and ensure their proposal
addresses the evaluation criteria and will have attainable, measurable
results.
