THIS GRANT’S FOCUS: Environmental Education, Youth Development, Outdoor Activities, Youth in Nature
Deadline: Nov. 13, 2020
“The Gray Family Foundation’s Environmental Education program seeks to support programs that stimulate or promote the teaching of environmental education in K-12 environments and increases outdoor experiences for youth.
The impact of COVID-19 has had wide-reaching effects on communities across the state of Oregon – and organizations that provide and support environmental education have been significantly impacted. We recognize the current uncertainty and that the various scenarios organizations and educators will face when connecting with youth during the next year are complex.
This year, Gray Family Foundation seeks proposals that stimulate or promote the teaching of environmental education in formal and informal K-12 educational environments to increase outdoor experiences for youth – either during the school day, as part of distance or virtual learning, or as a service or opportunity offered to families and youth outside of the context of the school setting. Gray Family Foundation’s Environmental Education Grant Program is focused on projects/programs that benefit 3rd-8th grade youth. Gray FF will fund proposals that best demonstrate alignment with our priorities and reflect our values towards equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI).
Option 1: Equity-Focused Capacity-Building
We will consider equity and inclusion focused capacity-building grant requests from $5,000-$20,000. This includes capacity-building support for multi-cultural or culturally-specific organizations seeking to integrate best practices in environmental education into their youth programming AND/OR organizations seeking to build their staff and organizational capacity to effectively engage with and support communities where they are implementing programming.
Option 2: Youth Field Experiences
We will consider programmatic grant requests from $5,000-$25,000 per year to support in-person, virtual, or self-directed field experiences for 3rd through 8th grade youth. Please note that program grants may also support work done in collaboration with or in parallel to schools/school districts in leveraging outdoor spaces (e.g. playgrounds, gardens, nearby natural areas) to support student learning during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Option 3: Educator Training and Professional Development
We will consider programmatic grant requests from $5,000-$25,000 per year to support educator professional development.”
