"Deputy Premier and Minister for Climate Change and the Environment Carmel Tebbutt today called on groups around the State to apply for more than $6 million worth of grants for environmental projects. The 2009 Environmental Trust Grants program is currently open to schools, non-profit associations and Aboriginal, community and state and local government organisations. “There is up to $6.7 million worth of grants available for projects and proposals that aim to make a difference to the environment,” Ms Tebbutt said.
“These projects can take a number of forms from providing community education to innovative research ideas or proposals to restore degraded environments or protect rare habitats.”
Grants range from $2,500 for Eco Schools up to $100,000 for restoration and rehabilitation and environmental education grants. The Environmental Research Program can also fund projects up to $200,000. “There are also grants available to lead community environmental organisations to help cover administrative costs,” she said."
