Summary
This grant program supports environmental summer initiatives for children aged 3–16. Designed to foster curiosity, stewardship, and hands-on learning, the funding is intended for nonprofit groups, public schools, or public programs. Both nonprofit organizations and educational bodies are eligible; individual applicants typically aren’t unless tied to a program through an approved entity.
The funding aims to enhance environmental awareness and action among youth during summer months. Recipients can use the grant to design immersive experiences like outdoor workshops, nature camps, garden projects, or conservation-focused field trips. The goal is to spark a deeper connection with the natural world, build environmental literacy, and instill active stewardship values.
Awards can reach up to $10,000 per project, enabling applicants to scale curriculum development, hire skilled instructors, purchase materials or equipment, and offset operational costs tied to program delivery . Organizations often use the funding to launch new summer cohorts, expand outreach to underserved kids, or pilot curriculum tied to sustainability.
Priority is given to programs that combine education with action—projects that teach environmental science and empower kids to participate in planting, clean-up efforts, or exploration. The fund emphasizes community-building, experiential learning, and inspiring long-term respect for the environment.
Available to public schools, nonprofit groups, and educational programs operating in the specified parishes. Projects must serve children between 3 and 16 during summer. Public agencies and school-based nonprofits are welcome, though individual educators must apply through their institution.
