Grants and Awards
Leveraging Public/Private Funds for Environmental Education
In addition to core programs—Classroom Earth, National Public Lands Day, National Environmental Education Week, Business and Environment, Earth Gauge® and Health and Environment—NEEF provides grants to leverage the reach of our programs, implement our program goals, support the efforts of other organizations and strengthen the environmental education (EE) field as a whole.
In 2010, we gave over $300,000 to more than 100 grantees in 34 states.
