The Audubon Society of Rhode Island provides financial assistance to qualified schools looking to enrich their curriculum with an Audubon environmental education program, which support the state educational standards.  Audubon has two financial assistance opportunities available on a first come, first served basis.
 
Program Grants: 

Program grants are available to Title I Schools and Urban Districts.  These funds will cover 50% of the program fees associated with a visit to Audubon's Environmental Education Center in Bristol or another Audubon wildlife refuge - September through March.   In addition, Audubon offers reduced program fees during the winter months (December-March).  This means you can receive a 1½ indoor environmental program that aligns with the GSEs/GLEs for only $3 a student if you schedule a program now through March.  If you are applying for a program grant you can also apply for a transportation grant at the same time.

Transportation Grants: 

These grants are available to ALL schools through out the entire school year.  The $100 grants help offset the increasing transportation expense for field trips to Audubon locations.
 
Audubon offers dynamic hands-on, science-based environmental education programs that help teachers achieve Rhode Island's educational standards.  To review the full list of environmental education programs offered by Audubon just click here.
