WASHINGTON – U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced up to $3.2 million in funding for environmental education grants to support local, community-driven projects that help Americans protect their water, health, and natural surroundings. EPA expects to award up to 16 grants nationwide, ranging from $200,000 to $250,000 each through the Environmental Education Grant Program.

The Environmental Education Grant Program is designed to give Americans the knowledge and skills they need to make informed decisions about their environment; from protecting local waterways to supporting responsible stewardship in their own backyards. These grants support hands-on projects that help people better understand environmental challenges in their own communities and take practical steps to address them. Projects supported under this program emphasize real-world learning, community engagement, and solutions that can be applied at the local level.

The Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is now posted on www.grants.gov and the Environmental Education Grant Notice of Funding Opportunity webpage and applications are due on March 3, 2026.

Have you seen the yellow compost bins outside our entrance?

Thanks to our community partnership with the St. Louis-Jefferson Solid Waste Management District and their composting grant, we are reducing food waste and keeping organic materials out of the landfill.

So far this year, we have diverted 35,249 pounds of organic waste from the landfill. That’s roughly 17.6 tons of materials saved from ending up in the landfill! ♻️
