NOAA Planet Stewards is now accepting
proposals for 2024/2025 project funding!
Educators can receive up to $5000 to carry out hands-on stewardship projects that make a difference. Scroll down for all the details you'll need to get started, along with information
on two live video conferences we're offering to answer your questions about stewardship projects and the application process.

<http://link> Do you want to engage your students and community in actions that address pressing environmental issues?
Through federal funding opportunities of up to $5,000, NOAA Planet Stewards will support formal and informal educators working with elementary through college age students, and the public,
to carry out hands-on stewardship projects. Stewardship projects must make a substantive, and quantitatively measurable impact on an environmental issue related to the educator’s community.
Projects should focus on the conservation, restoration, and/or protection of human communities and/or natural resources from environmental issues in one of the following four focus
areas:
* Marine debris mitigation/removal
* Habitat conservation and restoration
* Carbon footprint reduction
* Carbon sequestration

Educators receiving stewardship project funds are required to send a detailed progress report every six months until the project is completed. For projects taking place during the 2024/2025

Eligibility
Funding from NOAA Planet Stewards is open to all formal and informal educators working with elementary through college age students, and the public.
Funding preference will be given to:
* Educators actively working in pairs or groups.
* Educators proposing projects that engage multiple classrooms, grade bands, entire schools, or multiple schools.
* Educators with organizational leadership roles, skills, or engaged in activities that give them an advantage in completing their project.
* Projects which engage underserved and underrepresented audiences. The NOAA Office of Education defines these as:
Underserved audiences: Populations who receive inadequate or inequitable services, who experience quality-of-life disparities, and who by design have little power or influence over outside
decisions that impact their daily quality of life.
Underrepresented audiences: Populations in STEM who are categorized in the following racial or ethnic minority groups (Blacks or African Americans; Hispanics or Latinos; American Indians
or Alaska Natives, and Native Pacific Islanders) based on their representation in STEM education or employment being smaller than their representation in the U.S. population.
* Projects engaging partners external to the submitting educator’s school or organization; especially those that provide tangible in-kind support.
* Projects designed to persist beyond the federal funding period.
Educators who have previously received funds from NOAA Planet Stewards may apply for this funding opportunity. These applications must either be:
* Significantly different from their previously funded projects, or
* Significantly expand the scope or impact of their previously funded project (e.g., involve significantly more/different types of students and/or members of the community, increase
the quantitative impact of their project, etc.).
Educators currently implementing a stewardship project may apply for this funding opportunity if they have submitted a progress or final report and all required supporting documents
that show significant progress in their current activities.
Funding Conditions
NOAA Planet Stewards funds are disbursed to support the implementation of stewardship projects and MUST be applied directly toward resources and activities leading toward the successful
completion of the project.
Funds CANNOT be used for:
* salaries (except for substitute teachers in formal education settings)
* transportation/lodging/fees for attendance at professional conferences, or for personal professional development
* overhead costs.
Funds WILL NOT be allocated directly to educators.
NOAA Planet Stewards funds WILL ONLY be allocated to:
* a recognized school or school district
* a registered not for profit organization
* a registered not for profit institution affiliated with the educator applicant.
Applying for Funding
Details about the application process, links to the supporting documents noted above, and the online application, may be found on our Supporting Stewardship page <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1Ni
