| Resource Description
|
| A FIELD GUIDE TO ENVIRONMENTAL LITERACY, Making Strategic Investments in Environmental Education. Elder. Over 3000 grant-making foundations annually distribute over one billion dollars to environmental causes. What is perplexing is that within this number 1,750 foundations currently claim to have both education and the environment as funding interests but only 82, or 5%, provide funding specifically for environmental education. Learning how to promote interest (and funding) at the intersection of environment and education is the purpose of this book. After first analyzing the reasons for this situation, the author offers concrete suggestions for developing the political and strategic momentum to increase funding in environmental education. This book demonstrates the importance of setting national goals and benchmarks within existing federal programs and the national standards. Identifies potential new sources of funding as well as methods for galvanizing the philanthropic community. Environmental educators will want to study this book carefully and follow through with appropriate actions. This essential resource comes at a critical time—developing effective environmental education programs is more important now than ever. #EE-12004.
