Diack Ecology Education Program
Title: Ecological Studies Grants
Description: 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 (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.

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

Laird Norton Endowment Foundation
Title: Laird Norton Grants in the Area of Sustainable Forestry
Description: Through the year 2004, Laird Norton Endowment Foundation will be funding in the area of
sustainable forestry. By sustainable forestry, we mean the practice of forestry that restores,
enhances, and then sustains a full range of forest values, ecological, social, and economics.
Other common names for this practice are ecoforestry, low-impact forestry, new forestry,
and forest stewardship. The practice is in contrast to the industrial forestry that was the
model in the United States for much of the 20th Century. Our definition of sustainable
forestry is one that generally includes the harvest of forest products. This definition reflects
both economic necessity and our family heritage. Although we understand the significance
of "forest preservation" efforts, they are not in our funding focus. Instead, we seek to foster
an approach to forestry that includes the ecological, social, and economic concerns of forest
dependent communities. (See website for further clarification.)
A small booklet, "An Introduction to Sustainable Forestry and Forest Certification," is
available from us free of charge. Please contact the Foundation for a copy

Oregon Sea Grant
Oregon Sea Grant Funding Opportunities
Oregon Sea Grant provides a variety of competitive and noncompetitive funding
opportunities for university-based research and outreach faculty who seek to address
questions related to ocean or coastal science. Projects often involve collaboration with
scientists from public and private agencies, and from other parts of the world. In addition,
Sea Grant offers a variety of fellowship opportunities to qualified graduate students.
In recent years, flat funding and increased costs have resulted in a marked reduction in the
number of projects Sea Grant is able to fund. In the fall of 2002, researchers and other
interested parties were invited to discuss this dilemma and make suggestions for change.
Those considering applying for Sea Grant support are strongly urged to read the synopsis of
their discussions, recommendations and resulting changes to our funding process.
Please bookmark this page as your entry point for detailed information about applying for,

Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board
Title:
Description:
On January 10, 2002, the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board adopted administrative
rules establishing a small grant program, and committed $2.8 million in funding to the
program through the end of the biennium in June 2003. The small grant program responds
to a need for local decision making about restoration priorities, on a shorter timeframe than
provided under OWEB's current program. 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 a
small grant team, funds will be disbursed from OWEB directly to the grant recipient.
Guidance materials have been developed to help the Small Grant Teams form and begin
awarding small grants. Before a Team can award small grants, they must first develop
operating procedures and a list of eligible project types.
For more information on the small grant program, please contact the following Grant

Description:
The Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board would like to thank the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Bureau of Land Management for helping
fund this project.
Local citizens and organizations understand best the type of enhancement work that is
needed in their watershed. However, financial constraints or difficulty locating appropriate
funds may prevent them from undertaking projects or activities. The intent of the Funding
Directory is to help the people of Oregon, from watershed councils to local government to
private landowners, find money to support their conservation efforts. To create the Funding
Directory the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board compiled information on federal and
state grants available for watershed protection and restoration in Oregon. Public funds may
be a significant source of assistance necessary to leverage additional private funds. This
directory is a convenient means to identify federal and state financial aid that you or your
organization may be eligible for.
In order to make good use of this information please keep the following in mind: OWEB will
update program information periodically, but not frequently; OWEB has extracted only basic
information on each grant program; application deadlines, program criteria, and other
essential information may change any given year or funding cycle. For these reasons,
always contact the grant sponsor for current and detailed information.
This initial version of the OWEB Funding Directory contains only federal and state grant
programs. Many public agencies also have tax incentive or loan programs. Be sure to also
explore these opportunities with an agency representative. To learn more about private
grants and other financial assistance please see the Guide to Other Resources. The
information presented herein reflects data available during Fall 2001. To submit updated
and new program information please use the Update Form. Comments to OWEB regarding
the utility of this directory are appreciated.

Puget Sound Action Team
T'tie: Public Involvement & Education (PIE) Funding
Description: You have a plan to help protect water quality in your community. You need
money to put your plan in action.
What you need is a slice of PIE.
PIEฉ
The Public Involvement and Education Fund (PIE) program is one of the and Education
most powerful tools available for protecting and improving Puget Sound's
water quality and marine resources. PIE dollars help communities, businesses, non-profits,
and local and tribal governments to:
create solutions to local pollution problems;
protect, preserve and restore habitat;
motivate people to be environmental stewards; and
partner with others for lasting results.
The PIE Fund is not a grant program. Rather, through personal services contracts, the
Puget Sound Water Quality Action Team obtains the services of individuals and
organizations to educate and involve residents of Puget Sound as they carry out the
2001-2003 Puget Sound Water Quality Work Plan. Services provided under contract are
compensated on a reimbursement basis. The Action Team staff provides guidance on
fulfilling a state contract, as well as technical information and advice related to the project.
If the legislature approves funding for the 2003 - 2005 biennium, the request for proposals
(RFP) for Round 14 of PIE will be distributed during the summer of 2003. If you would like to
receive notification of Round 14, e-mail or phone your contact information to
gwilliams@psat.wa.gov, 360-407-7311. To help you decide if PIE is the right program to
fund your project, read through the current and past PIE project description

Environment Sustainability
The 2003 deadlines for Environmental Sustainability Letters of Inquiry are (postmarked by)

Title: Washington Foundation for the Environment Grants
Description: Grant Application Guidelines
Our grants have ranged in size from $200 to $2000. We make grant decisions throughout
the year at Board meetings that occur every six to eight weeks.
Funding Goals
WFFEi's primary focus is on environmental education. We are interested in funding the
following sorts of projects and organizations:
Educational efforts such as workshops, institutes, conferences, and exhibits, which hold the
promise of increasing public awareness of, or stimulating productive public debate with
respect to, significant environmental issues. Also considered are grants for individual and
group scholarships to attend worthwhile conferences and educational programs;
Environmental projects which have one or more of the following features: (a) the project has
come together in a way that is instructive, perhaps representing a significant success of
grassroots efforts, or the assembly of an unlikely but necessary coalition; (b) the project
could have a significant positive effect on public awareness of environmental issues or on
the encouragement of other preservation or reclamation efforts; (c) the project will involve
imaginative technical approaches that would make its success instructive; (d) the proposed
uses of the project site and access to it will result in education about environmental matters.
