Sustainability Education

Education for Sustainability Grants Program

The Education for Sustainability Grants Program aims to support projects that facilitate changes in community attitudes and behaviours in support of sustainable development in Australia. An important consideration in assessing proposals is the impact funding will have in acting as a catalyst for change at the national level.

The 2007-2008 Education for Sustainability Grants were announced on 19 August 2008.
Information on future rounds of the program is expected to be made available on this site later in the year.
