Virginia Naturally Mini-Grant Program
One of the most successful and popular of Virginia Environmental Endowment's grantmaking programs is the Virginia Mini-Grant Program, which has enabled thousands of citizens to become actively involved in solving environmental problems in their own hometowns. With grants of $5,000 or less, schools have instituted environmental science courses and outdoor classroom projects, volunteers have monitored water quality in dozens of local streams and rivers, and communities have developed innovative strategies to ensure environmental quality is improved in their community.  Please also consult the new mini-grant program being administered by Virginia's Office of Environmental Education by visiting http://www.vanaturally.com/classroomgrants.html.
