OUR GRANT OPPORTUNITIES: Youth Today’s grant listings are carefully curated for our subscribers working in youth-related industries. Subscribers will find local, state, regional and national grant opportunities.
THIS GRANT’S FOCUS: Environmental Education, Outdoor Activities, Organizational Support, Youth in Nature
Deadline: Apr. 1, 2021 | June 1, 2021
“With social distancing regulations in place, people are turning to the outdoors more than ever for exercise and rejuvenation. At the same time, the agencies and organizations responsible for maintaining public lands are hampered by reductions in staff, volunteers, and resources, leaving them ill-equipped to keep up with increased human presence in these delicate ecosystems on top of existing maintenance backlogs. In response, NEEF has established the Restoration & Resilience COVID Recovery Fund to help restore these special places by distributing resources and mobilizing volunteers.
Through this funding, NEEF will sponsor public lands sites in order to:
- Demonstrate the need for volunteer service to restore public lands that have been impacted by increased use during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Engage volunteers in restoration and conservation projects that address the impacts of the pandemic.
- Contribute to improvement of the sponsored public land sites through community engagement, as evidenced by volunteer participation numbers, types of projects, value of volunteer service, and conservation outputs.”
Funder: The National Environmental Education Foundation (NEEF)
Eligibility: “Open to nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations, state or federal government agencies, federally recognized tribes and local governments, and educational institutions.”
Amount: Up to $2,500
