Overview
<p>The purpose of the Environmental Education Local Grants Program in Region 9 is to support locally-focused environmental education projects that increase public awareness and knowledge about environmental and conservation issues and provide the skills that participants in its funded projects need to make informed decisions and take responsible actions toward the environment.</p>
Solicitation Limitations: <p>Non-federal matching funds of at least 25% of the total cost of the grant project are required for awards made under this announcement.</p> Other Information:<p>Applicants must demonstrate how they will provide non-federal matching funds of at least 25% of the total cost of the project.</p> <p>Applications should plan for projects to start no earlier than August 1, 2020. Project periods should be proposed for one or two years or any time period between one and two years.</p> <p>The National Environmental Education Act (Act) requires that exactly 25% of all funds obligated under Section 6 of the Environmental Education Grant Program in a fiscal year be for grant awards of not more than $5,000. Accordingly, each recipient (i.e., the “prime” recipient) of a grant under this solicitation will be required to award exactly 25% (no more and no less) of the funds received from EPA to eligible sub-recipients in the form of subawards of $5,000 or less. Please note that this is different from the requirement in the Act that each recipient provide a cost sharing (match) of 25% or more of the total project amount.</p>Last Updated:
