NJ Water Festival Grants

The NJ Project WET Program is offering grants to public or private schools and non-profit organizations interested in sponsoring a Water Festival. A Water Festival is a one- or two-day event that engages students in structured learning stations and exhibits that explore the wonders of water. Festivals can be held on any day in May 2005 to celebrate NJ’s Watershed Awareness Month, the first week in May to celebrate Clean Water Week, or the last Thursday or Friday in September to celebrate National Water Education Day, which falls on September 23. Grants range from $300 to $800 based on the number of students. The festival coordinator(s) must have attended a Project WET Workshop prior to March 2005. Proposals are due by May 20. http://www.state.nj.us/dep/seeds/docs/wfg05.pdf
