The Captain Planet Foundation will fund as many projects as its annual
resources allow. Please read the following guidelines thoroughly if
you would like to seek funding from us. In order to maximize the
impact of Foundation funds, the Board of Trustees limits their grant
awards to those applications which comply with the following
guidelines.

In order to be considered for funding, proposals must:

• Promote understanding of environmental issues
• Focus on hands-on involvement
• Involve children and young adults 6-18 (elementary through high school)
• Promote interaction and cooperation within the group
• Help young people develop planning and problem solving skills
• Include adult supervision
• Commit to follow-up communication with the Foundation (specific
requirements are explained once the grant has been awarded)

The Captain Planet Foundation reserves the right to earmark funding
for specific budgetary items, and decline funding for budgetary items
which are not consistent with Grant Guidelines. Generally, the range
of grants awarded by the Foundation is $250 - $2,500*.

The Captain Planet Foundation does not make grants for:

• The purchase of real estate
• Endowments
• General operations expenses
• Capital or building campaigns
• T-shirts and other promotional items
• Scholarships to attend summer camps
• Field trips that are not supplemented by a semester long (minimum) lesson plan
• Expensive equipment used by only a small number of children
• Salaries
• Transportation costs
• *organic gardens generally no more than $500; adopt-a-stream no more
than $400

Deadlines for submitting grant applications are March 31, June 30,
September 30, and December 31. Grant Proposals are reviewed over a
period of three months from the date of the submission deadline. All
applicants will be informed of their proposal's status within four
months of the application deadline. It is very important to remember
this information if your project is seasonal. For example, if you are
seeking funding for a summer project you would want to submit an
application no later than the December 31st deadline in the year
prior, otherwise you will not have your grant money in time for the
project.
