The Wisconsin Environmental Education Board (WEEB) seeks proposals for the development, dissemination, and implementation of environmental education programs. 

Projects should include the fundamental tenets of environmental education:

• Awareness: Develop observational and other process skills that contribute to an awareness of and sensitivity to the total environment and its problems.
• Knowledge: Acquire basic information about the natural environment in order to understand how it functions, how it is affected by human activity, and how harmony between human activity and the natural environment can be achieved.
• Attitudes and Environmental Ethic: Develop feelings of concern for the environment and the motivation to participate actively in environmental maintenance and improvement.
• Citizen Action Skills: Develop skills needed to identify, investigate, and take action toward the resolution of environmental issues.
• Citizen Action Experiences: Gain experience in working individually and collectively toward the resolution of environmental issues.

Applicants may submit mini-grant applications of up to $1,000; small grant applications of up to $5,000; and large grant applications of up to $10,000.  Special consideration is given to underserved audiences and/or projects that incorporate citizen action experiences.

Program Deadline: 3 February 2012

Applicants must first submit the proposal to the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs for internal review, required signatures, and confirmation of match commitment.  Matching contributions must be at least 25% of the requested grant funds.
