The Captain Planet Foundation (<a href="http://www.captainplanetfdn.org/">http://www.captainplanetfdn.org/</a>) funds hands-on environmental projects involving children and young adults in communities across the United States.

All applicant organizations or sponsoring agencies must be exempt from federal taxation under Section 501(c) of the Internal Revenue Code in order to be eligible for funding (this includes most schools and nonprofit organizations).

All projects must promote understanding of environmental issues, focus on hands-on involvement, involve children and young adults between the ages of 6 and 18 (elementary through high school), promote interaction and cooperation within the group, help young people develop planning and problem solving skills, include adult supervision, and commit to follow-up communication with the foundation. Generally, grant amounts will range between $250 and $2,500.

The deadlines for submitting grant applications are June 30, September 30, and December 31.
