I wanted to let you know about two grant opportunities from MEEA (Montana Environmental Education Association) that can help Montana teachers and educators get their students outside. The deadlines for these grants are quickly approaching:
The first is the OOK (Open Outdoors for Kids) grant. MEEA partners with the National Parks Foundation and the Montana State Parks Foundation to administer this program which offers $300 travel grants to help teachers get their students out on state and federal public lands. The deadline for this grant is January 6. Find more information and the application here.
The second is MEEA’s mini grants. These $500 grants can be awarded to Montana schools, homeschools, tribal entities, nonprofit organizations and tax-exempt government agencies. These funds can be used for a variety of projects like creating a student-run wildlife habitat or funding a visit to a local state park. The deadline for this grant is December 31st. Find more information and apply here.
Both of these grants would pair nicely with a place-based/local studies project. Learn more about how to plan and execute such a project by joining 2019 Montana Teacher of the Year Dylan Huisken for our first online sharing session of 2023: January 9, 4:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m. Register here.
