Melinda Gray Ardia Environmental Foundation, Ltd.
Title: Environmental Curriculum Development Grants
Description: This is our main program in which we provide one to two $1000 grants. They are
intended to assist educators in the design and implementation of holistic environmental
curricula that fit our Mission Statement. They are open to anyone, but we give
preference to grants that benefit public school students, a policy based on Melinda's
commitment to public school education. We provide grants of $1000 to educators to
develop or implement environmental curricula. We prefer to support the actual
development of a curriculum rather than provide funds to purchase equipment. All funds
pass through the school district or nonprofit organization rather than directly to the
individual recipients. Generally, the applicants determine how much time is needed to
do the work and indicate this in the proposal. In some cases, we have provided funds to
purchase equipment to allow teachers to implement a completed curriculum. In all these
cases, the teacher(s) were the authors of the curricula.
Completed Application Must Be Postmarked by April 9th, 2005

Boise State University
Directory of Watershed Funding Resources
About the Directory
Communities across the country face a range of complex funding challenges as they
attempt to meet the demands of environmental protection. The Environmental Finance
Center (EFC) at Boise State University assists local communities in finding creative
funding solutions to support their own plans for environmental protection. As part of this
effort, the EFC provides watershed stakeholders with the funding information they need
to make decisions and protect their resource.
There is a tremendous volume of information available for funding watershed
restoration. However, finding and sorting through this information can be a daunting
task. In an effort to address this need, the EFC has created an on-line, searchable
database for watershed restoration funding. The database includes information on
funding programs available for federal, state (Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Alaska),
private, and other funding sources. Users can query the information in a variety of ways
including agency sponsor, keyword, or by a detailed search. At the end of a query, a
brief description of each matching program will be displayed. When a specific program
is selected, a detailed page of that program will be displayed and can be printed.

The Brainerd Foundation
Tit|e: Endangered Ecosystems Grants
Description: Funding Areas
The Brainerd Foundation's mission is to protect the environmental quality of the Pacific
Northwest and to build broad citizen support for environmental protection. We
accomplish this in part by making grants within our two program areas, Endangered
Ecosystems and Communications and Capacity Building.
Successful applicants for grant funding from either of our two program areas will be
involved in direct efforts to defend endangered ecosystems or in programs that
augment regional conservation efforts within our geographic funding region.
It is critical that applicants are accounting for the current political reality. The Brainerd
Foundation is placing increased emphases on protecting our bedrock environmental
laws and pursuing the most effective and innovative approaches to the new economic
and policy challenges before us. Support will go to efforts that show strong cooperation
and collaboration to make the most of scarce resources.
The information provided here should help prospective grantees determine whether
their endeavors are a good fit with Brainerd Foundation funding areas.

Description:
Wildlife and Habitat Preservation Grants
What We Believe
As development pressures increase, the stewardship of
vital ecosystems is critical for protecting species,
populations and habitats. The need exists to preserve
land, through acquisition, easements and other
conservation approaches. Applied science and research
are important tools for preserving, protecting, and
restoring all forms of wildlife and habitat, as is
understanding the complexity and interdependence of all
life. The concept of sustainability recognizes that
environment, economics and equity must be considered
together in order to protect the quality of life at every
level.
What We Support
I.Only those organizations whose missions are dedicated to preservation, protection
or perpetuation of wildlife and /or habitat may apply for funding.
2. Protecting habitat sites and wildlife corridors whose conservation value is based on
scientific assessment.
Our current focus is:
1. Projects that are part of an established strategy or design.
2. Collaborative efforts that involve other organizations, funders, non-profits and
agencies that are similarly dedicated to our mission.
Applying for a Charlotte Martin Foundation grant is easy!
Step 1 takes you through the eligibility process, then review Step 2, gather your
information, and click APPLY ONLINE (enter as a "new online applicant" and create

Description: ||^^^^|||mmstewardship is people working together to improve the health of
Istreams, neighborhoods and natural areas. The quality of water in our
Irivers and streams can be greatly improved when thousands of
individuals take simple steps to reduce water pollution. This is the
Ibasis of the principle of stewardship. We are all responsible for doing
lour part to take care of the watershed, and the world, that we share.
Watershed Stewardship Grants
Maintaining a healthy watershed takes the efforts of everyone who lives, works and
plays in that watershed. Environmental Services helps people help our streams. Our

Description: Grants to teachers in Oregon for Field Based Ecology
Ecological Studies Grants
The Diack Ecology Education Program was
established in 1993 by the late Dr. Arch Diack and his
family. Funds are awarded to assist "hands-on"
programs which involve Oregon children, K-12 in
regularly scheduled field based study which emphases
analytical thought, especially programs in which the
students' work has community visibility and is
connected to community interest or goals.
Grants usually do not exceed $1,500 and are awarded
for projects which study any aspect of the local
environment by taking advantage of close study
opportunities. Funds have been used for a variety of
items such as microscopes, safety glasses, soil test
kits, rock hammers, boots, field study books, cameras,
back packs, compasses, binoculars, water test kits,
specimen collection supplies, etc.
The Diack Program especially supports projects which will become part of the weekly
school program. An example would be a proposal to study a site close to the school or
to "adopt" or develop such a site. Funds ordinarily are not approved for substitute
teachers or transportation. There are no funding deadlines.

The Educational Foundation of America
Environmental Grants
The Educational Foundation of America (EFA) makes grants to qualifying non-profit
organizations that have tax-exempt status and those that are not private foundations as
defined in the Internal Revenue Code. EFA provides grants for specific projects.
It does not provide funds for endowment or endowed faculty chairs, building/capital
programs, religious purposes, grants to individuals, annual fund-raising campaigns,
indirect costs, overhead or general support. The Foundation prefers not to fund projects
located outside the United States.
Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the environment, the crisis of human
overpopulation and reproductive freedom, Native Americans, arts, education, medicine,
and human services.
Important characteristics considered by EFA are an organization's record of
achievement, intended broad impact, sound financial practices, increasing
independence, and correspondence with EFA objectives. Unfortunately, many worthy
requests are denied because needs exceed the Foundation's resources or a given
project does not fall within a current area of focus.
Letters of Inquiry are restricted to a maximum of two
pages printed back to back on one sheet of
unbleached, recycled paper.
EFA welcomes Letters of Inquiry at any time. There are no deadlines. All Letters of
Inquiry should be addressed to: Diane M. Allison, Executive Director

Environmental Justice Grants
This web site contains information on various EPA environmental justice (EJ) grant
programs. The grant programs discussed in this document are those which are
specifically designed to address EJ concerns and issues. Other EPA grant programs
may fund EJ projects and activities as well.

EPA Environmental Justice Grants Programs
EJ Small Grants Program
Program Overview:
The Office of Environmental Justice's Small Grants Program was established in
1994 to provide financial assistance to eligible community groups (i.e., community-
based/ grassroots organizations, churches, schools, other non-profit organizations,
local governments, tribal governments that are working on or plan to carry out projects
to address environmental justice issues. The guidance provided below outlines the
goals and general procedures for applicants and awards.
Community/University Partnership (CUP) Grants Program
Program Overview:
The emphasis of this grants program is on meaningful, two-way cooperation between
communities or tribes and institutions of higher education serving minority and
low-income communities or tribes in order to address environmental justice issues.
Partnerships must be established with formal agreements (i.e. Memorandum of
Agreements) between at least one College/University and at least one socio-
economically disadvantaged community or tribes which is adversely impacted by an
environmental hazard and public health concerns. These partnerships become the
catalyst for increasing environmental awareness and involvement in resolving
environmental problems, such as exposure to environmental pollutants in minority and
low-income communities and on Tribal lands.

Pesticide Environmental Stewardship Program Regional Initiative Grants
Regional Initiative Grants support pollution prevention projects that are important to and
complement ongoing efforts in the EPA regional offices. Traditionally, each EPA
regional office selects one project for funding. Then, the top unfunded projects from
each regional office are pooled, further reviewed and funded until the balance of
available funds are obligated. Questions regarding these grants or the call for
proposals should be directed to the appropriate EPA regional office contacts.
Membership in EPA's Pesticide Environmental Stewardship Program is not an eligibility
requirement for these grants.
A call for proposals is generally issued around February 1 of each year. For reference,
you may follow these links to view information from last year's process (current year
information will be posted when a call for proposals is issued:

Title: Wetlands Program Development Grants
Description: The Wetland Program Development Grants (WPDGs), initiated in FY90, provide eligible
applicants an opportunity to conduct projects that promote the coordination and
acceleration of research, investigations, experiments, training, demonstrations, surveys,
and studies relating to the causes, effects, extent, prevention, reduction, and elimination
of water pollution. While WPDGs can continue to be used by recipients to build and
refine any element of a comprehensive wetland program, priority will be given to funding
projects that address the three priority areas identified by EPA for FY04: Developing a
comprehensive monitoring and assessment program; improving the effectiveness of
compensatory mitigation; and refining the protection of vulnerable wetlands and aquatic
resources. States, Tribes, local governments (S/T/LGs), interstate associations,
intertribal consortia, and national non-profit, non-governmental organizations are eligible
to apply. This document governs the grant selection and award process for eligible
applicants interested in applying for FY04 WPDGs.

Fund program to stimulate small-scale, voluntary action by landowners, community
groups, and businesses to support salmon recovery on private property. Grants are
administered by the Foundation's Northwest Office.
The goals of the Community Salmon Fund are to:
• Fund habitat protection and restoration projects that have a substantial benefit to
watershed health.
• Engage landowners, business owners, and community groups to carry out these
projects and care for them in the long run.
• Stimulate creativity and leadership among various constituencies to address
conservation needs.
• Target constituencies that can be particularly helpful in salmon recovery, especially
farmers, rural forest owners, suburban homeowners, and owners of businesses and
industries.
Currently, Community Salmon Fund has 10 local partnerships in western Washington.

currently offering grant opportunities.

Guidelines for Proposals
The National Forest Foundation (NFF) is a private, nonprofit 501(c)(3) tax-exempt
organization dedicated to safeguarding our National Forests and Grasslands by building
action-oriented partnerships with local communities that result in lasting conservation.
Through our Matching Awards Program (MAP), nonprofit organizations, educational
institutions, and state and local governments can apply for funding twice a year. The
program requires that every dollar invested be matched with private, non-federal funds,
effectively doubling the total contribution to local conservation initiatives that address
the issues directly affecting forest health.
During the 2004 MAP, the NFF will concentrate its efforts in four geographic focus
areas: Southern Appalachians (TN, NC, SC, GA), Oregon Coast and Central Cascades,
the Selway-Bitterroot (MT, ID), and Central Colorado Rockies. The NFF will accept
applications from non-governmental, nonprofit organizations working in or adjacent to
national forests and grasslands. Through the NFF MAP, nonprofit organizations, local
state and tribal governments, and educational institutions completing on-the-ground
conservation work, can apply for matching funds twice a year.
Who Can Apply:
Applications will be accepted from non-federal partners, community-based
organizations, Native American tribes, educational institutions, and other non-profit
501(c)(3) organizations.

OWEB Small Grant Program
The small grant program responds to a need for local decision making about restoration

The program enables up to 28 small grant teams around the state made up of local soil
and water conservation district, watershed council and tribal representatives to award
small restoration project grants up to $10,000 for eligible projects.
Projects eligible for funding through a small grant are watershed restoration and
enhancement projects on forest, agricultural, range, urban, and rural residential lands
that use existing technical guidance. A small grant award is limited to $10,000 per
project and requires at least a 25% non-OWEB match. While small grants are awarded
locally through small grant teams, funds are disbursed from OWEB directly to the grant
recipient.

The Plant Conservation Alliance is pleased to report that due to the last nine years'
successful partnership with the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF), we
expect to be able to fund additional plant conservation projects in 2004. Once again we
will be emphasizing on-the-ground conservation projects which provide immediate
results and benefits. These model projects illustrate the breadth and capabilities of our
many plant conservation partnerships and provide additional momentum to build both
internal and external support. Building on three years of success, the Native Plant
Conservation Initiative is an ongoing and highly visible flagship program of the NFWF.
NPCI grants are modest, ranging from $5,000 to $40,000 with an average grant size of
$15,000. It is expected that all grant funds will be matched by non-federal contributions
from project partners. In-kind contributions of goods or sen/ices are eligible as match for
this program. There is a strong preference for "on-the-ground" projects that involve local
communities and citizen volunteers in the restoration of native plant communities.
Projects that include a pollinator conservation component are also encouraged.

Terry Husseman Sustainable Schools Awards
The Sustainable Schools Awards program reflects our vision of a sustainable
environment. We hope these awards will encourage Washington State public schools to
continue having positive impact by embracing the concept of environmental
sustainability.

reduction as a facet of a fully developed resource conservation or sustainability program
continues to grow. This award program recognizes Washington State Public schools for
their successes managing materials and wastes in a sustainable fashion. Ecology plans
to distribute as much as $20,000 among the winners in a particular year.

packages may be mailed, sent electronically, or hand delivered to the offices of
