Captain Planet Foundation

Website: https://captainplanetfoundation.org/

Mission & Purpose: To invest in high-quality, solution-based programs that embrace STEM learning and empower youth to become local and global environmental change-makers.

Broad Funding Guidelines: This is a national foundation that supports environmental education. They provide small environmental grants (typically $500–$2,500) to schools and nonprofit organizations. A strict requirement of their grant application guidelines is that the projects must be youth-led, project-based, and have real, tangible environmental outcomes.

Featured Opportunity: The "Project Learning Garden" program is a standout. Eligible schools can apply to receive a comprehensive package (valued at $6,000) that includes garden beds, soil, mobile kitchen carts, and curriculum to turn a schoolyard into an outdoor, living laboratory.

Recommendation: A public elementary or middle school teacher who wants to start an outdoor, hands-on STEM program and needs seed funding to build raised garden beds and purchase water-testing kits for their students.
