The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is seeking grant applications for the Environmental Education Grant Program, focusing on locally and regionally targeted environmental education projects that promote environmental stewardship. The program aims to support initiatives that increase public awareness and knowledge about local environmental issues, with specific priorities in 2026 including education on responsible artificial intelligence use in environmental contexts and ensuring clean and safe water. Eligible applicants include local education agencies, nonprofit organizations, colleges, universities, state agencies, tribal organizations, and educational broadcasting entities. Projects must demonstrate innovative approaches to environmental education that provide participants with skills for informed decision-making and environmental action. The EPA will evaluate applications based on their potential to effectively design, demonstrate, or disseminate environmental education practices and techniques, with the application deadline set for March 3, 2026.

Successful applicants can expect notification of selection in June 2026, with formal award notifications to be issued in October 2026. The projects will be implemented across various local and regional settings, with a focus on developing environmental literacy and promoting active environmental stewardship among students, teachers, and community members.
