EE Funding

AEEA supports environmental and outdoor education through an annual mini-grant program. The program is designed to support, enhance, and expand the implementation of environmental education throughout the state of Arkansas by classroom teachers and non-formal educators and organizations. Applicants or their organization must be a current member of AEEA.

The focus of the grant is to fund projects that include, but are not limited to, direct hands-on education programs, educator professional development, and community engagement events. Projects can incorporate sustainability, environmental justice, natural resource conservation, habitat restoration or a variety of other topics. An educational component must be a central part of the project.

The application cycle is open each fall. Funds are dispersed in January to be used that calendar year.
