Captain Planet Foundation: ecoSTEM Grants

The mission of the Captain Planet Foundation is to give the next generation of environmental stewards an active understanding and love for the natural world in which they live. The Foundation funds and supports hands-on environmental projects that inspire and empower children and youth around the world as they work individually and collectively creating environmental solutions in their homes, schools, and communities.

Captain Planet Foundation provides material support in the form of ecoSTEM Resource Kits. ecoSTEM Kits are curated material and activity kits organized by environmental theme (i.e., renewable energy, water quality, pollination, and earth soil & decomposition). ecoSTEM Kits provide a class set of materials that can be used and reused to carry out investigations, engineering design challenges, citizen science projects, and stewardship projects. ecoSTEM Resource Kits are available in the form of a material support grant.

Amount: ecoSTEM grants supply material support only. ecoSTEM kits are valued at approximately $300-$800 each.

Eligibility: Applicant organizations must be exempt from federal taxation under the IRS Section 501 , or have a fiscal sponsor that meets this criterion; and maintain an annual operating budget of less than $3 million.
