Iowa Association of
Naturalists
REAP-CEP Committee
IAN's grant priorities have been to favor grants that are: 1) regional or statewide in nature, 2) cooperative efforts among entities, organizations and agencies, and 3) long-term programs that evaluate the effectiveness of their programs. IAN supports quality teacher training statewide, including creation of materials and training on Iowa-based natural resources. IAN also is interested in research projects, and supports environmental efforts for grades 6-12 and adult education. REAP-CEP committee members are happy to visit with you about your ideas. I will visit with you either at home (515-382-5427; madowl@midiowa.net) or at the office (515/232-2516; lzaletel@storycounty.com). The committee always is looking for new, innovative projects to fund.
If you want funds for your county or area's environmental education program, you may want to write a grant to
REAP-CEP (Resource Enhancement and Protection-Conservation Education Program).
REAP-CEP grants are administered through the Iowa Department of Education, and $350,000 is awarded yearly. The purpose of the grant program is to develop environmental curriculum and provide educator training. Grant guidelines are linked from the public Extension site
www.iowaee.org . If you have questions, you can contact any of the REAP-CEP Board members listed on this page, or Kathy McKee, Iowa DOE Environmental Education Consultant
(Kathy.McKee@ed.state.ia.us). Grants are due November 1 and May 1 of each year.
