How do I apply for funding from the StEPP Foundation?
To apply for funding from the StEPP Foundation, applicants first must submit a project idea online at www.steppfoundation.org. This officially logs a project idea into the Strategic Environmental Project Pipeline (StEPP) and allows a project idea to be considered for current funding and future funding opportunities over a twelve-month period. Once a project is entered into the StEPP Project Pipeline the applicant will periodically receive email updates on their project’s status. If a match for funding becomes available, the applicant will be requested to submit a full proposal based upon Specific Project Criteria, such as geographic location, environmental category, minimum dollar request, segment of society benefited, etc. defined by the funding source. The proposals received are then reviewed by a committee, which includes at least one StEPP Board member and experts in pertinent and related fields. The review committee then makes its recommendations to the full StEPP Foundation Board
