2024 Environment Grants: APPLY NOW!
Bring your environment and sustainability initiatives to life!
Apply for one of six grants of $3000 to get environment projects at your school, college or early childhood centre off the ground.
Sponsored by the IEU and Teachers Mutual Bank (TMB), members are invited to put in an application for 2024 for our annual environment grants program.
TMB and IEU have a proud history of funding education projects that kickstart sustainability projects.
Past grant-winning projects include habitat and biodiversity conservation, tree-planting, composting and vegetable gardens, water and energy saving initiatives, waste and recycling, as well as projects that draw on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander connections to land, community and the local environment. The sky is the limit!
Winners will be announced in October 2024, with a formal presentation at the AGM.
- Applications open: Monday 22 July 2024
- Applications close: Friday 11 October 2024
Eligibility: IEU/TMB are open to all IEU members. Grants will be assessed on the ongoing viability of the project, how it links to broader environmental education strategy, and how it will be implemented using effective project management.
Conditions: Successful 2024 recipients are expected to provide a presentation/update in September 2025 outlining how the project has proceeded and what the benefits have been. This update should include photos and/or videos. Photos/videos from 2024 grant winners will be presented at the October 2025 AGM.
To apply please fill out this online form.
