Get Em Outside Mini-Grant

Celebrating environmental education, the purpose of the “Get Em Outside Mini-Grant” program is to support educators in getting participants outside and connecting with nature. The mini-grant applicants should highlight their use of funds and how those funds will enhance students’ connection with a sense of place and hands-on learning experiences. With this funding, Montana Environmental Education Association is able to provide valuable resources otherwise not available to both formal classroom and informal educators across Montana, fostering excellence in environmental education. This mini-grant program began in memory of Emerson Juliette Graham and aims to inspire youth to learn about and care for the natural world. Typically, the call for proposals are sent out at the end of the year, and awards are made during the first few months of the year. Grant amounts vary from year to year and are made possible by our annual conference auction. For the 2023 grants, we will dispense three (3) $500 grants.
