Commission discusses Ohio Environmental Education Fund as possible source for event funding
Summary
Members reviewed the Ohio Environmental Education Fund (OEEF) as a potential source for funding education events and agreed to check deadlines; participants cited differing grant‑size figures and will verify the correct maximum and application schedule.
Commission members raised the Ohio Environmental Education Fund as a funding source for the commission’s outreach and education plans. A member summarized the program and initial eligibility, calling it the Ohio Environmental Education Fund (OEEF), and participants discussed timing and whether the fund’s cap was $50,000 or $25,000; the commission agreed to confirm the current maximum and application deadlines before preparing an application.
The chair asked for volunteers to help research and prepare any application the commission wishes to submit. Members noted that the OEEF focuses on education spanning K through gray and can fund public‑education work; one member agreed to read the program guidance and bring details back to the group. The commission flagged the August submission window as potentially too soon for a full application and tentatively discussed preparing for a January round if the schedule permits.
