Our Nature-Based Education funding supports collaborative and organizational initiatives that advance the field, build strong networks that change systems and policy, include and elevate diverse voices and leadership, and result in equitable outcomes for all Mainers.
2024 Available Funding: up to $131,000
Focus Area Lead: Tom Boutureira, Community Partner
Priorities
Our focus is on two main areas: Collaborative Funding for multi-partner initiatives and Organizational Funding. Collaborative Funding supports:
Field-Building
Network-Building
Diversity, Voice, & Equity
Data & Evaluation
Advocacy & Policy
Organizational Funding provides general operating grants that prioritize organizations led by groups historically underrepresented in the nature-based education sector including youth, BIPOC, LGBTQ+, differently-abled, and low-income communities that will have transformational impact for the field.
2024 Grantmaking
Because of the limited funding available this year, our grantmaking will be by invitation only. We will either invite new applications (for new work or for organizations that aren’t current grantees) or make amendments to existing grants. If you have work that you would like to have considered for invitation, please contact Tom Boutureira to discuss.
