Funding Description

The Environmental Education Grant Program (EEGP) provides grants to support programs that will result in long-term educational benefits to California educators and students. The EEGP plays a vital role in connecting California educators with professional development and information about high-quality, standards-based environmental education programs. Three Environmental Literacy Projects were funded for one year. Projects may be funded for up to an additional two years based on project success. This funding profile reflects the information for year three (2023-24) of a three-year grant.
